About this map

Turkey Knob serves as a central landmark for this rugged section of the Texas Hill Country, where the boundaries of Kerr, Kendall, and Bandera counties meet. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, featuring prominent elevations like Cloud Mtn and deep valleys such as Bald Hollow and Cherry Hollow. Historically, the area's water sources were vital for early settlers, evidenced by numerous named springs like Sycamore Spring, Brown Spring, and Champee Spring that feed into the local creek systems.

Evidence of established family heritage is found at the Langridge Family Cem in the northeastern corner, while the local transportation network reflects a mix of traditional ranching and modern residential development. Roads such as Old School Rd and Seven Eleven Ranch Rd provide access to tucked-away water bodies like Christophs Lake and Youngblood Lake. This survey captures the rural character of the region before further subdivision altered the ranching landscape.
