About this map

The Medina River carves a deep valley through the limestone hills of Bandera County, anchoring a landscape defined by rugged canyons and private ranching interests. The community of Medina sits at the intersection of several local routes, including Ranch Rd 2828 and Broadway St, serving as a hub for the surrounding plateau. This 2016 survey illustrates a modern transition in land use, where traditional ranching geography meets newer aviation and recreational features.

Private airstrips like T-4 Ranch Airport and Flying L Airport underscore the modern accessibility of this terrain. Water management is central to the area's character, evidenced by the namesake Rock Cliff Reservoir and smaller private bodies like Boazman Lake and Hadfield Lake. Significant relief is documented in the northern reaches, where Crow Canyon and Prison Canyon break the high ground near Mt Medina.
