About this map

The North Llano River carves through the southern portion of this Kimble County landscape, a region defined by a dense network of drainages and draws. During this period of the early 1970s, the small settlement of Cleo stands near the confluence of Bear Creek and West Bear Creek in the northeast. The topography is deeply dissected, featuring prominent relief such as Bee Cave Hollow and Ox Hollow.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible through the presence of a Landing Strip, a Gas Well, and a Gravel Pit. Genealogists and local historians will find the Copperas Creek Cem located near Copperas Creek in the southwest corner, providing a specific point of interest for family research. A large Pipeline cuts across the southern terrain, paralleling the river and marking the modern utility footprint in this rural Texas ranching country.
