2022 Map of Batesville Hill

About this map

Batesville Hill rises above a complex network of seasonal drainages and lowlands along the border of Uvalde and Zavala counties. The hydrology of this South Texas brush country is the most striking element of the landscape, characterized by the winding course of the Leona River and its associated water sources like Leona Springs. The terrain is etched with numerous sloughs and creeks, including the prominent Camp Lake Slough and Childers Slough, which suggest a landscape defined by intermittent water flow and cattle ranching. Transportation through this rural corridor relies on established routes such as Ranch Rd 117 and Pearsall Rd, which connect the scattered ranch lands. The presence of features like Rock Quarry Cr and Gallina Cr further illustrates the local drainage patterns that have dictated land use and property boundaries in this sparsely populated region.
