2022 Map of Joy Hollow

About this map

The E Prong Nueces River carves through the canyonlands along the Edwards Co Real Co border, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and vital water sources. This 2022 survey documents a series of named springs that have historically anchored life in this arid terrain, including Morris Spring, Barnett Spring, and Sanchez Spring. The network of draws and hollows, such as Joy Hollow and Ranger Hollow, illustrates the complex topography of the Edwards Plateau. The transition from the high relief of Eagle Cliff to the deeply incised Pecan Springs Draw and Turkey Canyon highlights the erosional forces shaping the region. Local access is marked by several ranch roads, including Home Hollow Rd and Fair Ranch Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley floors and ridges.
