About this map

Southwest Texas Jr College anchors the northwestern corner of this Texas landscape, situated adjacent to the aviation and community hub of Garner Field. The 1970s terrain is characterized by the winding paths of the Frio River and Leona River, where distinctive local landmarks like Cypress Waterhole and Toadstool Waterhole suggest the importance of reliable water sources in this semi-arid region.

Rural infrastructure is well-defined, from the Rodeo Ground near the college to the numerous Gravel Pit operations scattered across the survey area. Evidence of agricultural and industrial activity appears through labels for Storage Bins and a Gaging Sta, while the Taylor Hills provide the primary topographic relief. Genealogists may find interest in the isolated Cem located near a waterway simply known as The Ditch, while the network of fine red dashed lines indicates the established property fence lines of the era.
