About this map

The small settlement of Divot serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in Frio County, where the sprawling river bottom of the Leona River dominates the central terrain. This mid-1970s survey reveals a landscape heavily defined by its water management and ranching infrastructure. Numerous named windmills, including the Sally Windmill, Berry Creek Windmill, and Parks Corner Windmill, are scattered across the hills and valleys to provide water for livestock in this arid brush country.

Natural drainage systems such as Todos Santos Creek, Goat Hollow Creek, and Yoledigo Creek carve through the region, often leading to named stock tanks like Muchacho Tank and Pancho Tank. Evidence of the area's resource economy is visible through several Oil Well placements and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern half of the quadrangle. The elevation rises toward the English Hills, providing a clear view of the complex network of fencelines and unimproved roads that connected these isolated South Texas outposts during the era.
