2010 Map of A Bar A Ranch

About this map

Medina and the winding reaches of the North Prong Medina River define this portion of the Texas Hill Country in the early 21st century. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of private holdings and legacy estates, including the namesake A Bar A Ranch, Horse Valley Ranch, and the Circle R Sky Ranch. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is an essential record of family burial grounds, capturing the locations of the Means Cemetery, Goodman Cemetery, Bauerlein Cemetery, and Baker Cemetery. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by features like the Garrison Lake Dam and Gallant Lake Dam, while aviation markers such as the Cinco B Ranch Airport and Idlewild Airport highlight the modern ranching infrastructure. The transition from the West Prong Medina River to the smaller drainages of Pecan Creek and Hough Creek illustrates the complex hydrology of Bandera County.
