About this map

Sentry Mountain stands as a prominent topographical anchor in this 1964 survey of the Texas Hill Country, situated at the triple-county junction of Bandera, Uvalde, and Medina Counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Seco Creek and its many tributaries like Pigeon Roost Creek and Schlader Creek. The terrain is marked by distinctive family and descriptive landmarks, such as Haby Cem and the settlement of Sutherland.

Evidence of local resource extraction is visible through multiple Gravel Pit sites, while the presence of a prominent Pipeline cutting through the northern ridges reflects the mid-century industrial infrastructure. The map preserves the specific locations of isolated springs and graves, such as Honda Springs and a lone Grave north of Hay Hollow, providing essential data for genealogists and local historians tracing early ranching and settlement patterns in this often-difficult terrain.
