2013 Map of Tarpley

About this map

Tarpley sits at the convergence of rugged hill country hydrology and ranching infrastructure in Bandera County. The settlement is anchored by the Tarpley Cem and a network of crossings over Hondo Cr and Williams Cr. The landscape is defined by its prominent limestone peaks and deep hollows, notably Gunsight Mtn, Saddleback Mtn, and Soto Mtn. Water management for local agriculture is evident through several small impoundments, including Shadow Dance Ranch Lake and the two McClennahan Lakes. Significant drainage systems like Commissioners Cr and Winans Cr carve through the terrain, while roads such as Ranch Road 470 and Thomas Creek Rd follow the natural contours of the valley floors to connect isolated ranching properties like the Wynn Ranch.
