2010 Map of Montell

About this map

The Nueces River snakes through this portion of Uvalde County, carving a path alongside the settlement of Montell. This landscape is defined by its dramatic limestone relief and seasonal watercourses, where features like Cow Cave Bluff and Shoe Peg Mountain rise above the drainage basins of Montell Creek and Silver Creek. The presence of Fat Hog Spring near the northern boundary suggests the vital role of natural water sources in this arid environment, while the Arnold Crossing Dam on the river indicates efforts to manage the flow for local needs. Transportation is limited to a network of rural routes, including Cty Rd 415 and Uvalde 411, which connect the scattered holdings and landmarks like Hayes Mountain and Boiling Mountain. The map reveals a place where human activity, centered around the river and road crossings, remains closely tied to the difficult terrain of the Texas Hill Country.
