About this map

The W Nueces River carves a winding path through this corner of the Edwards Plateau, defining a landscape of canyons and high points. This 2019 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the rugged topography where the river is joined by seasonal drainages like French Cr and the descriptively named Rough Hollow. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes, notably at Barrilla Bluff, which stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the river valley.

Evidence of historical water access remains central to the geography here, with Mustang Waterhole and Double Waterhole serving as critical local landmarks in an otherwise arid environment. While much of the area appears undeveloped, the presence of Rolling Oaks Dr in the southern portion suggests the gradual encroachment of rural residential infrastructure into this ranching country. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Kinney and Uvalde counties.
