1971 Map of Owl Hollow

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The West Frio River carves a distinct path through the limestone-cut landscape of Real County in the early 1970s. This survey, based on 1970 aerial photography, reveals a remote ranching territory defined by an intricate network of drainages such as Plum Hollow, Bullhead Creek, and Owl Hollow. The presence of a Landing Strip near the river bend and Gravel Pits to the south suggests the localized infrastructure required for managing these large Hill Country tracts. The landscape is dominated by steep relief and numerous springs feeding into narrow valleys like Rain Valley, illustrating the rugged topography that dictated settlement patterns and land use in this part of Texas. While the map is light on formal townsites, it provides an exacting record of the seasonal watercourses and hollows, including North Cedar Creek and South Cedar Creek, which have long served as landmarks for local landowners.
