About this map

The Frio River carves a winding path through this corner of the Hill Country, anchoring a landscape defined by deep limestone drainages and prominent peaks like Coffin Mtn. This modern survey reveals the extensive trail network within the local terrain, including the Old CCC Trail, Crystal Cave Trail, and Ashe Juniper Trail, which crisscross the ridges near Old Baldy. These paths reflect decades of conservation and recreational development along the river's edge.

Evidence of long-standing settlement and geography remains visible in family-named landmarks such as Bear Creek Cem and numerous hollows like Hog Hollow and Shut-in Hollow. The importance of water in this semi-arid region is clear from the labeling of Cold Springs and Cowan Springs. Near Seven Bluff, the map details a mix of rural ranch roads and modern residential names like Cat Claw Mountain Rd, showing how traditional Texas ranching land has transitioned into a gateway for river-bound visitors and seasonal residents.
