2010 Map of Harper East

About this map

Harper sits on the western edge of this landscape, serving as a gateway to the intricate drainage network of the Texas Hill Country in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by a dense system of seasonal and perennial waterways, including the upper reaches of the Pedernales River and Pecan Creek. The map documents a landscape of numerous named hollows and draws, such as Spring Hollow, Priess Hollow, and Rogers Draw, which illustrate the eroded limestone topography characteristic of Gillespie County. A network of local roads and ranch tracks connects isolated homesteads across the drainage divides of Edwards Creek and Threadgill Creek. This survey provides a precise record of rural property access and water resources, showing how the local road system follows the natural contours of the various creek branches, from Brushy Branch to Stuckens Branch, before they join larger southern-flowing tributaries.
