2016 Map of Murphy School

About this map

Murphy School stands as a focal point in this rural landscape of eastern Medina County, situated among the drainage networks of central Texas. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Hondo Cr, which is joined by tributaries like Verde Cr and Quihi Cr as they flow south toward the Hog Wallow Slough. To the east, Schmidt Hill provides a distinct topographic rise overlooking several water management features, including Leinweber Lake and the McWilliams and Wimberley Development Corporation Reservoir. The edge of Hondo appears at the western margin, connected to the surrounding ranchland by a web of county roads such as Elstone Rd and Paige Rd. The map illustrates a transitional environment where the open plains begin to meet the more varied creek-cut landforms characteristic of the region.
