About this map

The N Prong Medina River headwaters and its numerous tributary creeks define this portion of Bandera County. The landscape is deeply incised by a network of drainage features like Copperhead Hollow, Slaughter Hollow, and Freedom Hollow, reflecting the complex hydrology of the Texas Hill Country. Settlements are sparse, represented primarily by family-named ranch roads and secluded cemeteries such as Hillman Cem and Honey Creek Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local lineage in this rural corridor.

Water sources are vital markers on this map, from the reliable Main Spring and Muskhog Spring to the evocatively named Devils Bathtub Spring. Human presence is marked by a winding road network, including Love Creek Rd and Elam Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the stream valleys. The transition from these waterways to the surrounding high ground is documented through distinctive terrain labels like Raven Roost Hollow and Board Tree Hollow.
