About this map

The Guadalupe River serves as the central artery for this portion of the Texas Hill Country, where the North Fork and South Fork converge near the settlement of Hunt. The area is defined by a dense concentration of youth and recreational camps established along the riverbanks, including Camp Stewart, Camp La Junta, and Camp Rio Vista. These sites, along with others like Camp Arrowhead and San Antonio Camp, indicate the region's long-standing role as a premier destination for summer retreats and outdoor education.

Away from the water, the landscape is dotted with family-named holdings such as Conrad Meadows Ranch and Moore Ranch, illustrating the rural ranching heritage of Kerr County. Historical researchers will find markers of local lineage at Hunt Cem and Baldwin Cem, while evidence of infrastructure is seen at the Landing Strip and the Spillway at New Lake Ingram. This 1964 survey, with its 1982 photorevisions, captures the transition of the landscape into a recreational corridor.
