About this map

The Frio River carves a winding path through the center of this South Texas landscape, joined by a network of seasonal drainages such as Rockaway Cr and Muerto Cr. This terrain in McMullen County is defined by its hydraulic character, where features like Mossy Slough and Sand Hollow suggest a drainage pattern typical of the Brush Country.

Remote ranch roads and tracks provide the primary infrastructure for the area, including Old Fowlerton Rd and Col Dilworth Rd. Named ranching landmarks like Rancho Tres Rees and Hayes Ranch Rd speak to the enduring agricultural heritage of the region. Water management is evident in more arid stretches through features like the Middle Mule Tank, which serves as a vital resource in a landscape where permanent water is often restricted to the main river channel.
