About this map

The Nueces River winds along the western edge of this landscape, defining a sharp border between the river valley and the limestone uplands of the Rawhide Mountains. This portion of the Balcones Escarpment is characterized by a dense network of drainages and springs, including Rawhide Spring, Spring Creek Spring, and Walnut Springs, which feed into major tributaries like Lake Cr and Blucher Creek. The terrain is marked by significant topographical relief, with isolated peaks such as Mule Mtn and deep cuts like Dugwell Canyon and Fulghum Hollow.

Human activity is concentrated primarily on ranching and private aviation, evidenced by the Fossil Creek Ranch Airport and a series of managed water bodies including Williams Lake Number 1 and its successors. The boundary between Real and Uvalde counties cuts across the northern section of the map, while local transportation is limited to rural routes like Ranch Rd 1051 and Whitt Rd, which navigate the winding hollows of the Texas Hill Country.
