About this map

Crown Mtn and Caprock Mtn define the high elevations of this Real County landscape, where the Balcones Escarpment's influence is evident in the deeply incised drainage systems. Water is the primary architect here, with Eads Springs, Russell Spring, and Evans Spring providing critical points of interest in an area where the Dry Frio River dominates the eastern boundary.

A sparse network of backroads, including Ranch Road 337 and Cherry Springs Rd, provide access to many family-named hollows such as Hatley Hollow and Michael Hollow. The naming of features like Gobbler Knob and Devils Canyon reflects a local history tied closely to the physical terrain, while the course of Lee Cr and Camp Wood Cr highlights the intricate network of seasonal and perennial waterways that have shaped land use in this part of the Texas Hill Country.
