2019 Map of Garner Field

About this map

Leona Springs and the winding Leona River anchor the southern reach of this landscape, just southeast of the city of Uvalde. The terrain is defined by low-lying water features and subtle elevations like the Taylor Hills and the limestone-carved beds of the Frio River. Notable for its ranching and aviation history, the area contains Garner Field, which served as a primary flight training base during World War II. For researchers, the presence of The Ditch Cem near the riverbanks provides a specific point of interest for genealogical study. The map also identifies distinctive local landmarks such as Cypress Waterhole and Toadstool Waterhole, reflecting the importance of reliable water sources in this semi-arid Texas brush country environment.
