2012 Map of Live Oak Ranch

About this map

Live Oak Ranch and several other significant cattle operations define this portion of the Texas Hill Country, illustrating the enduring ranching economy of Kerr County in the early 21st century. The landscape is marked by an extensive network of water infrastructure, with numerous named wells such as Little South Windmill, Big South Windmill, and Steel Pens Windmill distributed across the terrain. These features, along with the Game Warden Windmill and Goat Shed Windmill, underscore the vital role of groundwater management in this arid environment. Roads like E Camino Real Rd and Camino Rd traverse the area, connecting isolated holdings like Black Bull Ranch and Wolf Proof Ranch. The presence of Bear Cr provides one of the few natural drainage markers in a landscape otherwise organized around these human-made water points and ranch boundaries.
