Cibolo Creek and Salado Creek define the complex drainage patterns of this northern San Antonio landscape, where military training grounds meet suburban expansion. The sheet is dominated by the ridges and named heights of the Edwards Plateau, including McCaskey Ridge, Aue Hill, and Harrison Hill. Significant water management features like the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and several earthen tanks, such as Cavalry Tank and German Tank, reveal the area's transition from traditional ranching to controlled flood management. The northern extent of the Dominion neighborhood and the Presence of Camp Bullis A Landing Strip highlight the dual identity of the region as both an elite residential area and a vital military installation. Researchers will find interest in localized history at Gerfers Cemetery and the sprawling Mission Burial Park near the Leon Creek headwaters.
