About this map

Saathoff Mtn and Split Mtn anchor the high ground of the Balcones Escarpment in this modern survey of Medina County. The landscape is defined by its drainage and water resources, essential for ranching and settlement in this portion of the Texas Hill Country. Named hydrology like Yellow Spring, Twin Springs, and Bear Spring provide vital points of interest for those tracking historical land use, while the Blue Waterhole and Mustang Waterhole suggest longstanding landmarks for both livestock and wildlife.

Transportation across this terrain relies on a network of rural routes, including Co RD 211 and several private ranch roads like PVT RD 2322. The area is carved by deep drainages such as Deadman Hollow, Ney Hollow, and Turkey Hollow, which feed into major creeks like Parkers Cr and Hondo Cr. This topography, including high points like Texas Mtn and the prominent Eagle Bluff, reflects the persistent character of the Edwards Plateau's edge as it transitioned into the twenty-first century.
