About this map

The eponymous Y O Ranch centerpiece dominates this landscape in the Hill Country of Texas, defined by a complex network of ranching infrastructure and seasonal water sources. The map details a working ranch environment where the Johnson Fork and Bundy Tank provide critical water in a terrain marked by named elevations like Gobblers Knob. A density of named windmills, including the Old Feed Pen Windmill and Shearing Barn Windmill, underscores the importance of groundwater management across these vast grazing lands.

Logistics and residential history are preserved through the identification of the Y O Ranch Airport and the Needham House. The road network follows historic paths like Camino Real Rd, reflecting long-established travel routes through Kerr County. This survey provides an inventory of specific ranch improvements, from the Rincon Seco House Windmill to the fenced expanse of Deer Park, offering researchers a clear view of land use and family ranching operations at the start of the 21st century.
