About this map

The Llano River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, serving as a primary drainage point for a complex network of seasonal draws and canyons. This 1970 snapshot of the Texas Hill Country centers on the small settlement of Cleo, located near the junction of Bear Creek and Turkey Hollow Creek. The terrain is defined by its dramatic relief, where features like Walnut Canyon and Bee Cave Hollow cut deep paths toward the river.

Genealogists and local historians will find several human-scale details, including a Cem and a Corral north of Copperas Creek. The presence of a Landing Strip and multiple Gas Well sites indicates a mix of ranching and early energy exploration. The map also traces the path of a Pipeline and identifies local landmarks such as Black, providing a clear look at the area's development before modern expansion.
