About this map

The Sabinal River carves through the limestone breaks of the Edwards Plateau along the boundary of Real and Bandera counties. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by deep drainages and named canyon systems, notably the namesake Sabinal Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. Water sources are the primary landmarks in this arid environment, ranging from the isolated Flatrock Spring in the northeast to Pelaez Lake further south.

Remote ranching infrastructure and recreational trails crisscross the ridges, including the W Loop Trail and Maple Trail. Family-named land features like Massey Hollow, Jim Jernigan Hollow, and Jernigan Cr indicate longstanding agricultural footprints in the valley. The map details a network of private and ranch roads such as Olsen Ranch Rd and Bug Scuffle Rch Rd, providing a clear record of modern property access and land use within this rugged stretch of the Texas Hill Country.
