About this map

The rugged Edwards Plateau terrain along the Bandera Co Medina Co line is defined by a series of critical water sources essential for livestock and settlement. In an area where water is life, several named pools along Hondo Creek provide reliable access, including Two Pecan Waterhole, Barnes Bluff Waterhole, Wide Crossing Waterhole, and Mustang Waterhole. These features, often associated with natural landmarks like Barnes Bluff and Eagle Bluff, illustrate the historical reliance on creek-bed hydrology in this portion of the Texas Hill Country.

Industrial and natural landmarks dot the landscape, from the Gaging Sta on the western edge to a Gravel Pit near the creek. To the east, the drainage of Martin Creek and Middle Verde Creek cuts through the limestone hills, where Ney Cave and Flag Mountain serve as prominent geographic anchors. The map also traces the path of a prominent Pipeline cutting across the north-central topography, signifying the modern infrastructure overlaying these traditional ranching lands.
