About this map

Rio Frio serves as the primary settlement on this Texas Hill Country sheet, situated near the southwestern edge of Real County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and named hollows, reflecting the complex topography where the Frio River and E Frio River converge. The prevalence of features such as Friday Hollow, Bailey Hollow, and Morris Hollow suggests a history of land use centered on these sheltered valleys.

Upland landmarks like Meridian Mtn and Grigsby Canyon rise above the waterway systems of Little Dry Frio Cr and Deep Cr. For those researching the era's local infrastructure, the map details the local Po and the winding course of Ranch Rd 337, which navigates the ridges. Water sources including Panther Springs and Mud Spring are identified, marking vital points in this arid environment at the transition to the Real and Uvalde county line.
