About this map

Hillcrest Ranch sits at the heart of this Edwards Plateau landscape, where the headwaters of the Frio River system carve through the limestone terrain of the Texas Hill Country. The map documents a complex network of seasonal drainages, including Yellow Bluff Draw, Bushwack Draw, and Armadillo Draw, which feed into the W Frio River and E Frio River. This 2019 survey shows the persistent importance of ranching heritage through naming conventions like Bobby Shelton Ranch Rd NW and Haby Ranch Rd.

Water remains the primary geographic anchor in this arid region, highlighted by the presence of Martin Camp Spring and its associated drainage, Martin Camp Draw. The interface between Kerr and Real counties is clearly delineated, crossing significant topographic features like Big Draw and Pointer. For researchers, the map provides an essential record of modern land divisions and the naming of small-scale natural features that define individual ranch boundaries.
