About this map

The Kerr and Gillespie County line bisects this portion of the Texas Hill Country, a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and scattered ranching operations. The topography is deeply incised by Fessenden Br, Johnson Creek, and Byas Br, flowing toward the various ranch reservoirs and springs that sustain this arid region. Significant groundwater resources are noted at Ellebracht Springs and Fall Springs, which historically dictated the placement of early homesteads and current livestock ranching. Evidence of rural community life is preserved at Dry Branch Cem and Sunset Cem, while the modern character of the area is shaped by several private landing strips, including Apache Springs Airport and Cielo Grande Ranch Airport. Small residential pockets like Angel Haven represent the sparse settlement pattern that persists in this rugged terrain.
