About this map

Cline and Blewett anchor this portion of the Texas landscape, situated along the Kinney and Uvalde County border. The geography is heavily influenced by the presence of industrial water and mining features, most notably the Uvalde Rock Asphalt Company Lake and nearby Whites East Pit. These landmarks point to the region's history with asphalt extraction, a theme reinforced by the naming of Asphalt Mtn.

Reliable water sources were vital in this arid environment, as evidenced by named features like Indian Spring, Golondrina Waterhole, and Dawson Waterhole. Local history and genealogy are preserved at Sparks Cem, located just south of the railroad line that passes through Cline. Distinctive terrain markers such as Cline Mtn, Saddleback Mtn, and the broad Frypan Valley provide a clear view of the regional topography and the placement of early ranching and transport routes like Ranch Road 1022.
