About this map

Middle Verde Creek and its various forks carve through the limestone landscape of the Balcones Escarpment in the mid-1960s. This survey, completed shortly after the 1963 aerial photography phase, shows a region defined by its water sources and ranching infrastructure. Numerous named springs, such as Indian Spring, Moccasin Spring, and Middle Spring, indicate the vital role of groundwater in this part of the Texas Hill Country.

Along the eastern edge of the sheet, the waters of Medina Lake reach into Cypress Cove, marking a distinct shift from the upland drainage of Timber Creek and Main Quihi Creek. Local landmarks like One Horn Mountain and Chimney Hill rise above a network of unimproved roads and fine red dashed lines that denote property fences, providing a detailed look at land division before modern residential expansion. A remote Landing Strip and a Roadside Park offer rare evidence of mid-century transportation and travel through this rural corridor.
