1964 Map of Sabinal Canyon

About this map

Sabinal Canyon dominates this portion of the Texas Hill Country along the border of Real and Bandera Counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Sabinal River and its western branch, the West Sabinal River, as well as the North Prong Medina River to the east. This 1964 survey captures a rural landscape characterized by family-named hollows and water features that reflect the region's ranching history, such as Wedgeworth and Post Oak Waterhole. A distinct Landing Strip and multiple pipelines indicate the infrastructure of the mid-20th century. Local landmarks like Flatrock Spring and Pelaez Lake are documented alongside numerous tributaries, including Marler Creek and Jernigan Hollow, providing a detailed record of the drainage patterns and historical property boundaries in this deeply carved canyon terrain.
