About this map

The unincorporated settlement of Rio Frio anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, situated near the confluence of the Frio River and Little Dry Frio Cr. This rugged stretch of the Texas Hill Country is defined by a dense network of canyons and hollows, where family-named landmarks like Grigsby Canyon and Bailey Hollow suggest generations of ranching history. Genealogical interest is centered on the Rio Frio Cem and the more remote Chisum Cem tucked near the base of Saddle Mountain.

Navigation through this dissected plateau relies on winding routes such as Ranch Rd 337 and Ranch Rd 1120, which track the high ridges and narrow creek bottoms. The landscape is seasonally shaped by numerous drainages, including Deep Cr and Deer Cr, and punctuated by water sources like Panther Springs and Mud Spring, essential features in this semi-arid terrain at the boundary of Real Co and Uvalde Co.
