About this map

The south Texas scrubland north of Devine unfolds across a landscape marked by intermittent creek beds and the namesake Ghost Hill. This territory, straddling the Medina Co Frio Co line, is defined by a dense network of ranch and county roads that navigate the subtle drainages of San Miguel Cr and Black Cr. The presence of Moore Memorial Cem, Longview Cem, and Moore Cem indicates the long-standing family ranching heritage of this region, where small burial grounds often serve as the primary markers of historical settlement patterns.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Cox Reservoir and the winding paths of Chacon Cr and Siestedero Cr. While much of the quadrangle remains focused on rural life, the heavy infrastructure of the I-35 Access Rd cuts diagonally through the northern half, illustrating the contemporary connection between these pastoral lands and the broader regional transport corridor.
