2012 Map of Biry

About this map

Honda Cr and its tributaries carve a network of drainages across this Medina County landscape, defining the rural character of the area around Biry. The map reveals a region defined by large-scale ranching and resource extraction, notably centered on Adams Ranch and the nearby Adams Oil Field. Long-established family ties to the land are evident in the placement of the Mussman Cem and Howard Cemetery, which serve as anchor points for local genealogical research. The road system is a mix of state-maintained routes like FM-2200 and a dense web of county and private tracks, including Mcannally Ln, illustrating the partitioned nature of Texas land holdings. Water features such as Elm Slough and Live Oak Cr suggest the natural drainage patterns that have historically influenced settlement and grazing throughout this part of the state.
