2019 Map of Batesville Hill

About this map

Batesville Hill rises above a complex drainage system where the South Texas brush country meets the ranch lands of the upper Rio Grande Plain. This 2019 survey captures the hydrological network of the Leona River and its associated seasonal waterways, including the winding Camp Lake Slough and Childers Slough. The landscape is defined by its agricultural and ranching infrastructure, bisected by the Uvalde and Zavala County line. Modern transportation routes like Ranch Rd 117 and Pearsall Rd provide the primary access through this sparsely populated terrain, while smaller tracks like High Fence Rd suggest the managed ranching operations typical of the region. The map details the subtle elevation changes near Gallina Cr and Rock Quarry Cr, revealing a terrain shaped by intermittent water flow and rural industry.
