About this map

The S Fork Guadalupe River carves through this portion of the Texas Hill Country, defining a landscape of deep draws and high bluffs. Near the river's path, Bee Bluff and Sycamore Draw stand out as prominent landmarks in a terrain shaped by water. The map documents numerous hydrologic features essential to this ranching country, including Lynx Haven Springs, Green Spring, and the Brewington Cr Ranch Lake.

A network of private ranch roads, such as Auld Rd S and the evocatively named Worlds End Rd, connects isolated homesteads and pastures across the Kerr Co and Bandera Co line. These thoroughfares, including Pot Luck Ranch and Fisher Ranch Rd, trace the historic boundaries of large family holdings. The drainage patterns of Honey Cr and Brewington Cr highlight the seasonal water flow that has influenced land use and settlement patterns in this part of Texas for generations.
