About this map

San Geronimo Creek carves a winding path through the limestone-cut terrain of the Edwards Plateau, anchoring a landscape defined by ranching and natural springs in the early 1970s. The presence of Gallagher Ranch and Kallison Ranch illustrates the large-scale landholdings that persisted near the Bexar and Medina county lines, while landmarks like Blue Gallagher Heaven suggest the distinct character of these historic estates.

Genealogists can identify significant local landmarks such as Lee Cem and Cepeda Cem, alongside the Maverick Sch located south of the prominent Cliff. The map reveals a high concentration of water sources and infrastructure, from Indian Mound Springs and Honeymoon Spring to numerous named landmarks like High Lonesome Well and River Windmill, marking the vital necessity of water management in this semi-arid region.
