About this map

Seco Cr and its various tributaries carve a complex drainage system through this portion of the Texas Hill Country near the intersection of Bandera, Uvalde, and Medina counties. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and prominent rises, including Sentry Mtn and Seco Mtn, which flank the namesake Seco Pass. This topography dictates the movement of transit and settlement, with routes like Ranch Rd 470 and Seco Pass Rd following the lower elevations between steep bluffs.

Local family history is centered around the Haby Cem, located near Hay Hollow. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows signs of modern development and utility, featuring the Thunder Creek Airport and a network of named lanes such as Matte Tampke Ln and Jay Bird Ln. From the high point of Weed Bluff in the north to the bottomlands along Bravo Cr, the map illustrates a transition from remote ranching country to more accessible rural residential areas.
