About this map

The settlement of Knippa serves as the focal point for this landscape where the Dry Frio River and Frio River wind through the Brush Country of Uvalde County. This topographic view captures a complex hydrological network where intermittent flows like Taylor Slough and Salt Cr navigate between distinct igneous landmarks. Significant elevations such as Black Mtn, Blue Mtn, and Traprock Hill interrupt the terrain, hinting at the geological history of the Balcones Escarpment.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the town's layout along Main St and Houston St, identifying the local Po and the Knippa Cem south of the tracks. The map also delineates established ranching boundaries, including Rancho Encino, and shows the path of the Leona River cutting through Long Hollow in the west. This 2022 survey documents the modern intersection of rail, ranching, and the river systems that define this part of Southwest Texas.
