2016 Map of Brewer Hollow

About this map

The Menard Co and Kimble Co border defines this stretch of the Texas Hill Country, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs carved deep recesses into the limestone. Water management and access dominate the local landscape, evidenced by the clustered locations of Iona Springs, Walton Spring, and Cracked Spring. Near the central divide, the Bannowsky Cem stands as a focal point for genealogical interest, located just south of the county line near the headwaters of Big Saline Cr. The terrain is characterized by numerous named depressions, including Brewer Hollow and Cedar Hollow, which historically dictated the winding paths of rural routes like Co Rd 370 and Gentry Creek Rd. This pattern of springs and hollows suggests a long history of ranching and specialized land use in a region where reliable water sources were essential for settlement.
