2012 Map of Mustang Valley

About this map

Mustang Valley in Medina County is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal creek beds and drainage draws characteristic of the Texas Hill Country. The landscape is dominated by the winding courses of Hondo Cr, Mustang Cr, and E Br Live Oak Cr, which converge as they move toward the southern plains. Human imprint on this rural terrain is marked by a grid of county roads and water management features such as Mustang Tank, Black Tank, and the notably named King Waterhole along the southeastern reaches of Hondo Cr. These water sources were essential for the cattle ranching operations that have long anchored the local economy. The transition from the more topographically varied north to the flatter agricultural lands in the south is reflected in the straightening of the road network, including FM-462 and numerous numbered county routes.
