2016 Map of Sabinal Canyon

About this map

Sabinal Canyon defines this portion of the Texas Hill Country, where the Sabinal River carves through the limestone terrain of Real and Bandera counties. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by complex drainage systems and family-named landmarks, such as Jim Jernigan Hollow and Massey Hollow. The northeastern corner transitions into the headwaters of the N Prong Medina River near Flatrock Spring, while the south is marked by the presence of Peláez Lake. The map reveals a network of rural ranch roads, including Kelley Ranch Rd and Olsen Ranch Rd, which navigate the steep descents into Fiddler Hollow and Cottonwood Canyon. This modern data shows the persistent influence of traditional ranching boundaries on the contemporary topography of the Edwards Plateau.
