About this map

Hondo serves as the primary anchor for this Medina County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of seasonal waterways and rural transit routes. The land transitions from the elevated Schmidt Hill in the northeast toward the low-lying drainage basins of Hondo Creek, Elm Slough, and Hog Wallow Slough. This 2010 survey illustrates the regional reliance on managed water resources, evidenced by infrastructure like the Leinweber Lake Dam and the McWilliams and Wimberley Development Corporation Dam. The survey provides a clear view of the road systems connecting local homesteads and ranches, including Elstone Rd and Lower Elstone Rd, which weave through the agricultural parcels characteristic of this South Texas region. The geography here is shaped by the movement of water through the Verde Creek and Quihi Creek systems as they converge toward the south.
