1894 Map of Kerrville

About this map

The upper reaches of the Guadalupe River and Pedernales River dominate this late 19th-century landscape, capturing the Texas Hill Country as the frontier transition gave way to established ranching and settlement. Surveyed in the 1880s, the map centers on the burgeoning community of Kerrville, showing its early street grid and its position at the confluence of the river and Town Creek. To the north, the small outpost of Harper and the crossing at Noxville anchor the high divides between Kimble and Gillespie counties.
