2010 Map of Circle Bluff

About this map

East Frio River dominates the central corridor of this Real County landscape, carving through a complex network of canyons and hollows characteristic of the Texas Hill Country. The 2010 survey highlights the Butt Foundation Camp and the Perry Ranch along the river's upper reaches, where steep vertical features like Circle Bluff and Brown Bluff define the local topography. Away from the water, the terrain is fragmented by numerous named draws and hollows such as Pole Cave Hollow and Sycamore Hollow, many associated with long-standing local families. Genealogists and historians will find the Cypress Creek Cemetery located near the confluence of Cypress Creek, marking a point of community identity in this ranch-heavy region. The map also records early water sources essential to the area's development, including Panther Spring and Big Spring.
