2016 Map of Trio

About this map

Trio serves as the focal point of this rural Uvalde County landscape, situated where several local routes converge amidst a network of Texas hill country drainages. The topography is defined by significant relief, featuring landmarks like Ringtail Mtn and the prominent Horseshoe Bend along Blanco Cr. This survey illustrates a settlement pattern of isolated ranches and homesteads connected by a complex system of county roads, including Folts Ranch Rd and Ten Mile Rd. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the course of the Sabinal River, while numerous ephemeral and perennial streams such as Nolton Cr, Little Blanco Cr, and Dinner Cr carve out named canyons like Catclaw Hollow and Crane Hollow. Geologic features like Sinks Hill and the hydrologic importance of Reiner Springs suggest a landscape where water access and terrain dictated the placement of early ranching infrastructure.
