About this map

The Sabinal River and its western branch, the W Sabinal River, carve a complex drainage system through these limestone highlands where the borders of Real, Bandera, and Uvalde counties converge. The landscape is defined by its deep canyons and named draws, including Starvation Hollow, Marshy Hollow, and Blackjack Hollow. Local transport follows the natural contours of the river valleys, with FM 337e and Ranch Rd 187 serving as primary corridors for the ranching community.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant data in the placement of the Vanderpool Cem and Jones Cem, as well as the small settlement of Mauldin in the south. The presence of the Foster Ranch Airport and 4D Ranch Airport highlights the reliance on private aviation in this secluded part of the Hill Country. Prominent landmarks such as Wernette Mtn and Taylor Mtn provide fixed points for understanding the area's relief.
