1928 Map of Frio Town

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Frio Town stands as the central hub of this South Texas landscape, where the Frio River and Sabinal River converge amidst a network of established cattle operations. Revised from earlier military sheets by the Eighth Corps Area, the map captures a period when ranch life was defined by the accessibility of water and the orientation of transit routes. Named family holdings like the Schuddemagen Ranch, Virgil Johnson Ranch, and the three distinct properties of Ed Blackaller, Lou Blackaller, and Blackaller Ranch dominate the topography. The reliance on seasonal water sources is evident through numerous labels for waterholes and a Bushwhacker Waterhole, while the Elm Pens Blackaller suggests the working infrastructure of the regional livestock industry. A sparse network of dirt roads, including the D'Hanis Frio Town Road, connects these remote outposts across the Uvalde and Medina lines.
