About this map

Dry Frio River and the upper reaches of the Leona River define the drainage patterns of this Uvalde County landscape as it appeared in the early 1970s. The terrain is a complex of deep-cut hollows and prominent rises, including Flag Mountain, Green Mountain, and Black Hill. This region reflects a sparsely settled environment where land use was primarily agricultural or extractive, evidenced by a Gravel Pit and scattered wells.

Family history is anchored at the Davenport Cem, located near Davenport Hill overlooking the river valley. The map documents numerous named drainages such as Lightning Bug Hollow, Kaolin Hollow, and Sawmill Canyon, which provide specific geographic context for land tracts and historic property boundaries. A network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail navigate the uneven elevations between Rocky Creek and Deep Creek.
