2019 Map of Goldfinch

About this map

Goldfinch anchors this 2019 survey of the South Texas landscape, where the border between Frio and Atascosa counties is defined by a north-south divide. The terrain is marked by the Marshall Hills to the west and a complex drainage system that feeds into the San Miguel Cr. Water management is central to this rural area, evidenced by features such as the County Line Tank and Miracle Lake. Small local cemeteries like Luna Cem provide valuable touchpoints for genealogists researching family ties in this region of ranching and light agriculture. The map details an extensive network of county roads including Davis Switch Rd and FM 140, which navigate around seasonal watercourses such as Chiltipin Cr and Liveoak Creek.
