About this map

Sabinal Canyon defines this portion of the Texas Hill Country, where the landscape is carved by a complex network of seasonal creeks and prongs. The Sabinal River winds through the central valley, flanked by steep ridges like Wedgeworth Hill and numerous named drainages including Marler Creek and Jernigan Creek. The presence of a remote Landing Strip and multiple Jeep Trails suggests the isolated nature of the ranching operations and hunting grounds in this region during the mid-1960s.

The boundary between Real and Bandera counties crosses through the western hills, marking a divide in the rugged terrain. Notable water sources such as Post Oak Waterhole, Flatrock Spring, and Pelaez Lake highlight the critical importance of localized water features in this environment. To the east, the headwaters of the North Prong Medina River begin their descent, illustrating the area's role as a vital watershed for the river systems of South-Central Texas.
