2012 Map of Harper East

About this map

Harper serves as the focal point for this section of Gillespie County, situated where Ranch Road 783 intersects with the corridor leading toward Fredericksburg. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pedernales River, which flows across the lower portion of the map, fed by numerous seasonal tributaries such as Flag Cr and Stuckens Br. The terrain is characterized by distinct Texas Hill Country landforms, including Priess Hollow, Drill Hollow, and Rogers Draw. Aviation presence is notable in this rural expanse, with both the Lone Star Flying Service Airport and the Circle Ranch Airport situated north of the main settlement. Local water sources like Pecan Spring and Pecan Cr illustrate the drainage patterns that have shaped land use and ranching in the area for generations.
