Hillcrest Ranch and its neighboring family holdings define this portion of Kerr County, where the headwaters of the Frio River system carve deep drainage patterns through the landscape. This 2012 survey documents a rural environment dominated by large pastoral estates like the Chittim Ranch and Wilson Ranch. The geography is intricately mapped through its various waterways and topographic depressions, including the W Frio River, E Frio River, and numerous named draws such as Big Draw and Armadillo Draw. These seasonal drainage paths were vital for early ranching operations, supported by landmarks like the Old Windmill and the Martin Camp Spring. The presence of Auld Ranch and Haby Ranch alongside secondary roads like Pasture Rd and Bowman reveals a network of land management and movement that has persisted through generations of Texas hill country heritage.
