About this map

The West Frio River and East Frio River systems anchor this ranching landscape in Kerr County, where water sources have long dictated human settlement. This modern 2010 survey highlights a network of family-named livestock operations, including the Hillcrest Ranch, Love Ranch, and Wilson Ranch, each situated to utilize the natural draws and creek beds that crisscross the terrain.

Ephemeral water features such as Grapevine Creek and Joy Creek are vital to this environment, accompanied by man-made infrastructure like the Buckhorn Windmill and Maverick Windmill. The map provides a detailed view of the regional road network, specifically Haby Ranch Rd and Pasture Rd, which connect these sprawling properties. Genealogists and local historians can trace the distribution of landholdings through distinctive landmarks like the Martin Camp Spring and numerous named draws such as Bushwack Draw.
