About this map

Leakey serves as the focal point of this Real County landscape, situated where the Frio River drainage system meets the high ridges of the Edwards Plateau. The settlement's street grid is clearly defined, with Main St and Evergreen St forming the core, while Leakey Springs provides a nearby water source. This 2012 survey illustrates a region shaped by its hydrology and terrain, where numerous canyons and hollows like Cedar Hollow and Negro Hollow dictate the placement of ranch roads and remote homesteads.

Evidence of the area's social and infrastructure history is found in the presence of the Real County Airport to the north and the Alto Frio Encampment to the south. Genealogists can locate burial grounds such as Exile Cem and Clark Cem, which are tucked away near the intermittent flows of Buffalo Cr and the Dry Frio River. The map captures a transition from town life to the expansive ranching country of Southwest Texas, marked by family-named landmarks like Walter White Ranch Rd.
