2010 Map of Vanderpool

About this map

The Sabinal River and its western fork dominate this portion of Bandera County, carving a series of dramatic drainages through the limestone geography. The small community of Vanderpool serves as the local anchor at the junction of Ranch Rd 187 and Ranch Rd 337. The landscape is defined by dozens of named canyons and hollows, such as Starvation Hollow and Jim Jernigan Hollow, which speak to the area's pioneer history and the challenges of early settlement. Significant topographical markers include Taylor Mountain and Wernette Mountain, while the presence of the Foster Ranch Airport and various ranch roads like Foster Ranch Rd and Encino Ranch Rd indicate the modern transition of these large family holdings. In the south, the Jones Cemetery remains a vital record of the families who established the cattle and goat ranching traditions of the Texas Hill Country.
