About this map

The E Frio River carves a deep path through this portion of the Texas Hill Country, shaping a landscape defined by dramatic vertical relief and numerous drainage hollows. Central to the local community and ranching history are sites like the Butt Foundation Camp and Perry Ranch, which occupy the river's winding valley. The presence of the Cypress Creek Cem near the junction of Cypress Cr and the river indicates the long-standing settlement of these limestone canyons.

Water sources are the primary drivers of location names and activity here, from the major flow of the river to smaller tributaries like Mill Cr and Indian Cr. Notable landmarks such as Circle Bluff and Brown Bluff rise above the riverbanks, while deep recesses like Grigsby Canyon and Pole Cave Hollow illustrate the area's intricate topography. The map also records several long-established ranch access routes, including H E B Camp Rd and Spring Country Ranch Rd, which connect these isolated homesteads and springs.
