2016 Map of Joy Hollow

About this map

The E Prong Nueces River carves a deep path through this section of the Edwards Plateau, where the boundary between Edwards Co and Real Co follows the high ridges of the western canyon rim. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage features like East Rose Draw and West Rose Draw, punctuated by isolated water sources such as Morriss Spring and Barnett Spring. Significant topographical landmarks like Eagle Cliff overlook Joy Hollow, while Eagle Ranch Lake Number 2 represents a rare instance of upland water catchment in this arid terrain. Access across this complex geography is maintained by a series of ranch-to-market style tracks, including Home Hollow Rd and Indian Springs Rd, which navigate the various draws and hollows that dominate the local topography.
