About this map

Tilden serves as the central hub for this portion of McMullen County, situated near the confluence of the Frio River and Leoncita Cr. The landscape is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and named depressions, including the curiously named Sloppy Hollow and Black Hill Hollow to the east. The terrain rises slightly at Register Hill, overlooking the broad basin of the Big Slough.

Rural infrastructure is grounded by long-established ranching sites like Dickenson Ranch Lake, with secondary roads such as Old Fowlerton Rd and Dickenson Rd connecting the dispersed homesteads and water sources. To the south, the land transitions into the draws of Kings Br and Richardson Cr, illustrating the vital importance of water management in this South Texas environment during the early 21st century.
