About this map

The West Nueces River carves a winding path through this corner of Kinney County, defining a landscape marked by significant topographic relief and intermittent drainage. Small settlements such as Cañon Grande and Grass Valley are linked by a network of rural routes, including Nueces River Rd, Tularosa Rd, and RM 334. The terrain is characterized by numerous named peaks and hollows, indicating a diverse geological environment where Salmon Peak and Turkey Mtn stand as prominent landmarks.

Local hydrology is further shaped by several tributaries, including Sycamore Cr and Arenosa Cr, which feed into the primary river system. Historical points of interest like Sycamore Springs and the natural bottleneck at Soldiers Gap offer insight into the early movement and settlement patterns of this Texas region. This survey captures the specific arrangement of ranch roads and geographic features prior to more modern shifts in local land use.
