About this map

The Frio River defines the landscape of this Texas Hill Country quadrangle, winding past a series of established camps and river crossings. Strategic locations such as Magers Crossing, Second Crossing, and Third Crossing highlight the historical importance of the river for both transit and recreation. The surrounding terrain is heavily dissected by numerous hollows, including the curiously named Coffin Mountain and Hog Hollow, suggesting a geography of deep drainages and limestone uplands.

Private land use and family history are central to this 2010 survey, documented through numerous named estates like Peck Ranch, McGruder Ranch, and Hoover Ranch. Social and seasonal activity is anchored by sites like Camp Fairview, Ellis Camp, and Rancho Chula Vista. For genealogists and local historians, the Bear Creek Cemetery provides a specific point of reference within the ranching and river-front communities that have long occupied these canyons.
