About this map

The hills and canyons of Medina County define this corner of the Texas Hill Country, where water management is critical to the local landscape. Infrastructure like the Middle Verde Recharge Dam and New Langford Lake Dam indicates the importance of water storage in this drainage system, which feeds into Verde Creek and Main Quihi Creek. The terrain is marked by distinctive named high points and depressions, including One Horn Mountain, Chimney Hill, and a series of hollows such as Cherry Hollow and Pigpen Hollow.

Natural springs like Moccasin Spring and Indian Spring reflect the geological character of the region, providing vital water sources in an area otherwise characterized by ephemeral streams. Transportation routes such as the Old Castroville Rd and various county roads, including Co RD 251, connect the scattered rural homesteads and ranch lands that dominate the territory between Elm Creek and Timber Creek.
