About this map

The hills and canyons of the Texas Hill Country define this landscape, where ranching heritage and aviation meet. The West Kerr Ranch Airport serves this secluded corner of Kerr County, situated among high ridges like Gobblers Knob. The complex network of ranch roads and trails, such as Goodnight Trl and Indian Mound Rd, suggests a territory deeply tied to historic cattle routes and modern land management.

Ephemeral water sources and rugged topography dominate the terrain, from the Deadmen Gulch to the more tranquil Deer Park. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by labels like Bundy Tank and the seasonal path of Johnson Fork. The naming conventions of the roads, including Camino Real Rd and Elm Waterhole Rd, evoke a sense of the early paths that once connected these central Texas highlands.
