2016 Map of Harper East

About this map

Harper anchors the southwestern portion of this Gillespie County landscape, where the headwaters of the Pedernales River begin their course through the Texas Hill Country. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and creek branches, including Stuckens Br, Maverick Spring Br, and Pecan Cr. To the north, the topography becomes more pronounced with features like Fox Hollow, Priess Hollow, and Drill Hollow indicating the local relief. Aviation history and modern ranching operations are visible through the presence of the Lone Star Flying Service and the Circle Ranch Airport north of the main settlement. The map also documents a complex web of rural ranch roads, such as Louis McGinley Ln and Painted Pony Rd, which provide access to the dispersed agricultural properties and family-held lands that characterize this part of Central Texas.
