About this map

Medina Lake dominates this landscape, its intricate shoreline defined by numerous named coves and points that reflect the area's development as a central Texas water resource and residential hub. The massive Medina Dam stands as the primary engineering feature, creating the reservoir that sustains the community of Lakehills and the smaller settlement of Mico. To the south, the Medina River continues toward the Medina Diversion Lake Dam, forming Diversion Lake.

The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Liebold Mountain and Goat Hill, while the lake's edge is dotted with landmarks like Mormon Bluff, Devils Bluff, and Walton Island. Local history is embedded in the names of the surrounding canyons and hollows, including Water Canyon and Antone Hollow, which speak to the complex drainage system feeding into the basin. The road network, including FM 1283 and various county roads like Gilliam Switch Rd, illustrates the transition from rural ranch land to lakefront property.
