About this map

Bandera Pass serves as a prominent natural gateway in the landscape of Kerr County, marking a historic transit point between the rising hills of the Edwards Plateau. This 2010 survey illustrates a region where local ranching heritage and modern recreation converge, centered around features like the Purple Sage Ranch and the waters of Bandera Creek. The terrain is defined by numerous named summits, including Sugarloaf Hill, Nanny Trap Mountain, and Duffys Mountain, which dictate the winding paths of roads such as Ranch Rd 2828 and Elm Pass Rd.

Water management is a visible theme throughout the area, evidenced by a series of private reservoirs and infrastructure like the Mosher Big Lake Dam and Morgan Lake Dam. Small-scale aviation also marks the landscape, with Bains Airport and Eagles Roost Airport providing access to these upland properties. The network of smaller roads, such as Vic Stevens Ranch Rd and Lazy J Rd, highlights the distributed nature of the rural settlements and family-named landmarks.
