1964 Map of Medina Lake

About this map

Medina Lake dominates this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating the complex shoreline of the reservoir formed by the Medina Dam at the border of Medina and Bandera counties. Residential developments like Lake Hills and Lake Medina Highlands occupy the peninsula between Elm Cove and Spettel Cove, showcasing the mid-century transformation of the area into a recreational and residential hub. The terrain is marked by prominent landmarks such as Liebold Mountain and the steep Mormon Bluff overlooking the water. Downstream from the main dam, the Medina Irrigation Canal and Diversion Lake highlight the critical water infrastructure supporting the regional economy. Local social life is anchored by St Victors Chapel and St Francis Chapel, while industrial activity is noted by a Gravel Pit near the settlement of Mico.
