1974 Map of Harper West

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Pedernales River carves through the landscape of the Texas Hill Country in this mid-1970s record, flowing eastward near the settlement of Harper. The area is characterized by its vital water sources and ranching infrastructure, featuring numerous named landmarks such as Shin Oak Spring, Parker Spr, and the Bur Oak Windmill. This map reveals a high concentration of Gravel Pits scattered across the terrain, indicating the local extraction industry that supported the region's road network, including Wendel Road and Reservation Road. Genealogists and historians can trace family-named features like the Priess Pasture Windmill and the locality of Bode near the intersection of the Gillespie and Kerr county lines. The transition between Kimble and Gillespie Counties is clearly delineated, alongside various draws and intermittent streams like Rogers Draw that feed into the river basin.
