Frio Town sits at a strategic crossing of the Frio River, marking a location deeply tied to early South Texas ranching and transit. This 2022 survey documents the modern layout of this historic settlement site near the Medina and Frio county line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the river and the drainage of Cocklebur Cr, with the Frio Town Cem serving as a significant genealogical landmark for those tracing the area's pioneer families. Access to the surrounding rangeland is provided by a network of rural routes including W FM 140 and named arteries like Squirrel Creek Rd and Vanco Ranch Rd, reflecting the continued importance of large ranching estates like the Ahr Ranch.
