About this map

The Medina River carves a deep path through the Bandera County landscape, anchoring a network of ranching properties and small water impoundments in the early 21st century. The town of Medina serves as the primary settlement hub, connected to the surrounding countryside by a dense system of ranch roads, including Ranch Rd 2828 and Ranch Rd 3240. The topography is defined by significant relief, notably at Mount Medina and through steep drainages like Crow Canyon and Prison Canyon.

Water management is a central theme of the area, evidenced by numerous named dams and reservoirs such as Rock Cliff Reservoir, Thallman Lake, and Montague Lake. These features, along with private landing strips like the T-4 Ranch Airport, illustrate the developed nature of these large Texas landholdings. To the south, the community of Highland Waters and the grounds of Camp Sionito indicate the area's role in local recreation and residential growth near the riverbanks.
