About this map

The Medina River carves a deep path through the Texas Hill Country in this modern survey, providing a vital water source for the settlement of Medina. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with numerous steep-walled drainages such as Panther Hollow, English Hollow, and Crow Canyon feeding into the river system. These landforms create a naturally segmented geography where ranching and local aviation have historically flourished, evidenced by the presence of the T-4 Ranch Airport and Flying L Airport.

Transportation in the region relies on a network of winding roads like Ranch Rd 2828 and RM 2828, which navigate the complex terrain. The map also records several private or smaller water bodies, including Hadfield Lake, Thallman Lake, and Montague Lake, which likely serve as important local resources in this arid environment. The transition from the higher elevations near Mt Medina to the river valley illustrates the traditional layout of Bandera County landholdings.
