2019 Map of Montell

About this map

Montell sits on the eastern edge of this 2019 survey, positioned near the Nueces River where the Edwards Plateau transitions into the brush country of Southwest Texas. This modern USGS topographic study details a landscape defined by dramatic relief and intermittent water sources, where named hollows and draws like Machinery Hollow and Cherry Draw cut through the limestone hills. The drainage pattern is anchored by Montell Cr and Dry Cr, while numerous named springs such as Red Camp Spring, Fat Hog Spring, and Norton Spring indicate the critical role of groundwater in this semi-arid environment. Prominent high points, including Shoe Peg Mtn and Cow Cave Bluff, provide significant landmarks across the Uvalde and Edwards county lines. The road network remains largely rural, dominated by county routes and private access roads serving the area's ranches and high-relief terrain.
