About this map

San Miguel Cr and its winding tributaries dominate this 2019 survey of the Frio County brush country, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns that shape this South Texas landscape. The terrain is defined by notable depressions like Mustang Hollow and Sand Hollow, which break the steady elevation gradients typical of the region. A network of rural roads, including E FM 140 and Biediger Rd, crisscrosses the landscape, providing access to remote ranching tracts and water crossings.

The hydrology of the area is particularly detailed, tracing the paths of Black Cr, Horse Cr, and Buckhorn Cr. These seasonal watercourses and the surrounding lowlands highlight the environmental factors that dictate land use and road placement, such as Sadler Rd and Nation Rd. This map captures a modern snapshot of a rural landscape where traditional ranching geography remains the primary feature of the land.
