About this map

The North Prong Medina River and West Prong Medina River converge in this Texas Hill Country landscape, defining a terrain of steep-sided draws and limestone hollows. Small ranching outposts and remote burial sites like Hillman Cem and Adams Cem are tucked into the drainages, marking the endurance of early families in Bandera County. The settlement of Tuff and landmarks such as Rock Chimney Ranch illustrate the localized character of the region's mid-century rural development.

Evidence of modern transition appears through the Pipeline cutting across the ridges and an arterial route noted as being Under Construction in the south. The presence of the Lima Landing Strip and another unnamed Landing Strip suggests the increasing role of aviation for remote property access. The map records numerous family-named landmarks and springs, from Willow Springs to Raven Roost Hollow, which remain vital to the genealogy of this rugged watershed.
