About this map

Pearsall anchors the northern edge of this South Texas landscape, where the brush country gives way to a grid of rural ranch roads and aviation landing strips. The terrain is defined by the intermittent drainage of Lockhardt Cr and Mule Cr, which carve subtle paths through the Frio County ranchlands. This era of the landscape is marked by the presence of private aviation facilities like Mc Kinley Field and the Jay Kay Ranch Airport, reflecting the scale of modern landholdings in the region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks such as Buckhorn Cem and Derby Cem, which serve as permanent markers of early settlement amidst the shifting network of farm-to-market roads. The passage of Interstate 35 and its I-35 Access Rd provides a sharp contrast to the older established routes like Tilden Rd and Fm 1582, illustrating the evolution of transport through the brush country.
