2019 Map of Pinto Mountain

About this map

Pinto Mtn rises as a central landmark in this portion of Kinney County, where the Edwards Plateau transitions through deep drainages and dry creek beds. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic network of Pinto Cr and its tributary, E Pinto Cr, which carve through the limestone terrain. Pinto Springs suggests a vital water source in this semi-arid environment, a critical point for local ranching operations. The infrastructure is sparse, dominated by RM 674 and Shahan Ranch Rd, reflecting a region dedicated to large-scale landholdings and traditional Texas ranching. To the south, Elm Cr further illustrates the complex drainage patterns that dictate movement and settlement in this rugged section of the Texas Hill Country.
