2016 Map of Harper West

About this map

The Pedernales River meanders across this landscape in western Gillespie County, marking a terrain defined by deep draws and limestone-influenced drainages. The settlement of Harper serves as the primary hub along the eastern edge, where the road network transitions from rural ranch routes to local streets like N 3rd St and Oak Rd. The map illustrates the convergence of three counties—Kimble, Kerr, and Gillespie—showing how modern property lines and ranch roads follow the natural contours of the Texas Hill Country. To the northwest, the terrain is cut by White-Oak Cr and the intermittent Shin Oak Cr, while Parker Spring provides a permanent water source in an area largely characterized by seasonal washes like Bur Oak Draw and Rough Hollow. The inclusion of Lone Star Flying Service near the northern border highlights the reliance on small-scale aviation in these expansive ranching districts.
