About this map

The small community of Cleo sits at the northeastern edge of this Kimble County landscape, positioned where Ranch RD 2291 meets the waters of W Bear Cr. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage systems and canyons that carve through the Edwards Plateau, including the prominent Earwood Draw and Walnut Canyon. To the south, the corridor of Ranch RD 1674 and the I 10 SVC RD follows the path of Calf Cr, providing a vital transit route through this deeply dissected ranching country.

Local land use is evidenced by several named access routes such as Kennedy Ranch Rd and Rafter O Ranch Rd, reflecting the region's agricultural heritage. These private holdings are intersected by numerous hollows, such as Rabbit Hollow, Bee Cove Hollow, and Ox Hollow, which funnel water toward the primary creeks. The map provides a clear look at the relationship between the rugged topography and the development of local roads like Co RD 212 and Low Lonesome RD.
