About this map

Industrial extraction and transit define this landscape along the Kinney and Uvalde county line. The Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads converge near Cline, a settlement situated north of the prominent Cline Mountain. Further south, the map documents a concentrated area of mining and quarrying activity, including Whites Mine, the Smyth Quarry, and the Gato Quarry. These sites are supported by infrastructure such as a conveyor and a Landing Strip near the small settlement of Dabney.

Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, with labels for the Golondrina Waterhole, Dawson Waterhole, and Indian Spring. To the east, Blewett serves as another focal point near Asphalt Mountain. Genealogy researchers will find Sparks Cem located near the rail line, while the southern reaches across Kennedy Flats show an Old Railroad Grade and several water tanks like the West Dawson Tank, reflecting the area's ranching and transit history.
