1925 Map of Simmons No. 2

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

The Frio River snakes across this South Texas landscape as it appeared in the mid-1920s, defining the drainage patterns and transportation routes of McMullen County. This survey, produced in part from aerial photographs, illustrates a sparsely settled ranching territory where life centered around crucial water sources and a few key overland paths. The settlement of Wentz serves as a primary reference point in the lower portion of the sheet, connected to the wider region by the Three Rivers Road. Further north, the Tilden and Three Rivers Road traverses the terrain, passing near the isolated Bruce School. The map is characterized by a network of seasonal drainages like Salt Creek and Dragoon Creek, which feed into the primary river valley, reflecting the arid nature of the brush country before more modern infrastructure arrived.
