About this map

Pinto Mountain dominates the landscape of this Kinney County quadrangle, situated within a complex network of drainage systems typical of the Edwards Plateau. The hydrology is defined by the winding course of Pinto Cr and its tributary E Pinto Cr, which carve through the limestone terrain alongside Elm Cr. A critical point of historical and geographical interest is Pinto Springs, a vital water source in this arid region that has long influenced land use and travel patterns.

Infrastructure is sparse, reflecting the large-scale ranching operations of southwest Texas. Primary access is provided by RM 674, which bisects the area from north to south, while Shahan Ranch Rd offers transit toward the southeastern portions of the map. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the Texas Hill Country, where natural landmarks and remote ranch roads remain the primary features of the land.
