About this map

The settlement of Harper serves as the focal point for this survey of the Texas Hill Country, situated at the western edge of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pedernales River and its numerous tributaries, including Pecan Creek, Flag Creek, and Edwards Creek. The area's water sources are clearly vital to its development, marked by specific points like Priess Springs and Pecan Spring.

A network of local routes such as Tivydale Road and Old Harper Road connect the scattered homesteads and gravel pits that drive the local economy. Notable landmarks like the Rodeo Ground near the town center and a Roadside Park along the highway reflect the community's social and travel infrastructure in the late 1960s. The presence of numerous named branches, such as Maverick Branch and Drill Branch, provides a clear view of the complex drainage patterns feeding the river system.
