About this map

Tilden serves as the focal point of this South Texas landscape, situated at the crossing of the Frio River and North-South transit corridors. The settlement's street grid, including Main St and Washington St, sits just south of the river's winding course. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and named depressions such as Javelina Hollow, Hackberry Hollow, and Fourmile Hollow, illustrating a landscape shaped by intermittent water flow and brushy breaks.

Further south, the map reveals evidence of rural land use and local aviation at Aero Saylee Airport. Significant water features like Dickenson Ranch Lake and Hals Lake provide critical points of interest in an area characterized by subtle elevation changes at Register Hill and Kings Hills. The presence of many family-named roads, such as Ben Franklin Rd and K Wheeler Rd, offers a window into the contemporary property ownership and rural infrastructure of McMullen County.
