About this map

The small settlement of Cleo sits at the northeastern edge of this Hill Country landscape, positioned near the confluence of Bear Creek and West Bear Creek. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and named canyons that carve through the limestone plateau, including Walnut Canyon, Turkey Hollow, and Bee Cave Hollow. These features emphasize the area's complex hydrology, where water travels through systems like Stark Creek and North Creek before reaching the larger drainage basin to the south.

In the southern portion of the map, the North Llano River winds through the valley, accompanied by an interstate corridor that mirrors the ancient natural pathways of the river. Tributaries such as Cedar Hollow Creek, Calf Creek, and Copperas Creek feed into this primary waterway. The mapping reveals a rural Texas environment characterized by isolated ranching infrastructure and a landscape shaped by the significant relief of features like Rabbit Hollow and Gilliam Draw.
