2013 Map of Frio Town

About this map

The Frio River meanders through this South Texas landscape, anchoring the historic vicinity of Frio Town. This area is defined by its deep ranching roots, with the Rock House Ranch and the Frio Town Cem serving as significant landmarks for local history and genealogy. The map reveals a specialized infrastructure for water management and energy, characterized by an extensive network of named windmills such as the Panic Field Windmill, Beef Trap Windmill, and Cow Pasture Windmill. Navigation through the scrub and river bottoms is facilitated by a grid of numbered prairie roads, including Prairie 1500 and Prairie 1900. Tributaries like Cocklebur Cr feed into the river system, highlighting the natural drainage patterns essential to the survival of these rural ranchlands.
