About this map

Calliham and the winding Frio River anchor the northern landscape of this South Texas survey, which captures the region during a period of transition in the late 1920s. The settlement patterns follow the drainages and early motor routes, such as the Tilden and Three Rivers Road. One notable insight into the era's local infrastructure is the isolated Brice Sch, situated alone in the western brush country, serving the scattered families of what was then a largely unsurveyed area. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the confluence of numerous creeks, including Paisano Creek and Dragoon Creek, as they feed into the Nueces River near the small community of Simmons. This map documents a quiet rural economy before more modern development altered the land use along these vital waterways.
