About this map

The Leona River and its accompanying sloughs anchor this South Texas landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The city of Uvalde serves as the regional hub, surrounded by several residential developments including North Uvalde Colonia, Vanham Addition Colonia, and Uvalde Estates. These colonias represent a distinct pattern of settlement and land use common in the borderlands, often characterized by rapid growth outside traditional municipal limits.

Historical and ecological landmarks are well-represented, from the Fort Inge site at the base of Inge Mountain to the sprawling Uvalde National Fish Hatchery. The map documents the area's transition from the dense urban grid near Pioneer Park to the outlying agricultural and ranch land accessed via Ranch Rd 1403 and FM 117. Notable water features like Twomile Waterhole and Boon Slough highlight the critical role of surface water in this arid environment.
