About this map

The North Prong Medina River and West Prong Medina River carve through this section of the Texas Hill Country, defining a landscape of deep hollows and spring-fed creeks. Settlement here in the mid-1960s is characterized by significant ranch holdings, including the Money Creek Ranch, Honey Creek Ranch, and the descriptively named Rock Chimney Ranch. Small, isolated landmarks like the Hillman Cem and Adams Cem provide vital clues for genealogists tracking early families in this part of Bandera County.

Transportation is marked by a network of unimproved roads and jeep trails leading to remote locations such as Copperhead and Raven Roost Hollow. The presence of the Lima Landing Strip and the tiny settlement of Tuff near the river forks suggests the localized nature of commerce and travel in this era. Geographic curiosities like Devils Bathtub Spring and various Gravel Pits indicate the intersection of natural features and small-scale resource extraction that shaped the local economy.
