2013 Map of Timber Creek

About this map

Medina Lake anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, where the Edwards Plateau begins its transition toward the Texas brush country. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by its critical water sources and rugged limestone drainage patterns, featuring an extensive network of springs such as Middle Spring, Sheep Spring, and Pecan Grove Spring. These perennial water points have historically dictated land use and settlement in Medina County, supporting cattle ranching and early agriculture long before modern irrigation. Significant topographic landmarks like One Horn Mtn and Chimney Hill rise above the drainage basins of Cypress Cr and the Middle Verde Cr, while the Middle Verde Recharge Lake highlights contemporary efforts in water management. The road network, including the historic Old Castroville Rd, follows the natural contours of the hollows, including Cherry Hollow and Pigpen Hollow.
