About this map

The Cedar Hill Divide splits the high country where Bandera, Bexar, and Medina counties converge, defining a landscape of springs and creek headwaters. In this early 1970s topography, San Geronimo Creek flows southward from the hills, while family-named landmarks like Mount Smith and the Heimsath Cem dot the terrain. The presence of the Clifton Sch and various local springs, including Beekman Spring and Wolf Head Spring, indicates a rural settlement pattern deeply tied to the reliable water sources found in these limestone hills.

Transportation routes are sparse, with the primary activity focused around ranching and land management, as evidenced by the Pipeline cutting across the northern reaches near Madrona Creek. Notable peaks like Jack Mountain and the Twin Mountains dominate the local relief, providing a clear picture of the Texas Hill Country's physical character before significant suburban expansion reached this far from San Antonio.
