About this map

Jack Mountain and the surrounding Hill Country terrain define this landscape at the intersection of Bandera, Bexar, Kendall, and Medina counties. The topography is characterized by prominent peaks like Three Mountains, Mount Smith, and the Twin Mountains, which rise above a network of springs and seasonal waterways. Water sources such as Beekman Spring, Hamilton Spring, and Wolf Head Spring are scattered throughout the draws, feeding into Red Bluff Creek and Geronimo Creek.

Evidence of local ranching and early community development is seen in the placement of the Clifton Sch and the Heimsath Cem. The map also captures the Cedar Hill Divide and several unnamed roads and fence lines that follow the rugged contours of the Balcones escarpment area. A solitary Gravel Pit near the headwaters of Madrona Creek provides a glimpse into the localized industrial activity of the period.
