2019 Map of Deep Creek

About this map

The Leona River and Dry Frio River carve their way through this section of the Edwards Plateau, where high ridges and deep draws dictate the movement of local travel. The landscape is punctuated by prominent elevations such as Flag Mtn, Green Mtn, and Davenport Hill, while the eastern edge is defined by the steep descent into Sawmill Canyon. For genealogists, the Davenport Cem stands as a significant landmark along the road leading north. The drainage patterns across the sheet, from Deep Cr to Lightning Bug Hollow, reveal the complex watershed system typical of Uvalde County. While contemporary ranch roads like Ranch Rd 1051 and Co Rd 429 facilitate modern transport, the placement of these routes often follows the natural logic of the terrain established long ago.
