About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor serves as the industrial spine for this South Texas region, connecting the primary hubs of Uvalde and Hondo. This 1992 survey reveals a landscape defined by the convergence of the Balcones Escarpment and the Rio Grande Plain, where the Frio River, Sabinal River, and Nueces River emerge from the northern highlands. The era is characterized by a diverse economic mix, from the energy production at the Taylor Ina Oil Field to the specialized Automotive Test Facility near D'Hanis.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the growth of established settlements like Sabinal, Knippa, and Batesville, alongside distinctive landmarks such as the Uvalde National Fish Hatchery and the Junior College. Significant natural features such as the Sycamore Mountains and Chalk Bluff overlook the river valleys, while Garner State Park anchors the recreational landscape in the north. The detailed planimetry provides a precise look at the rural road network including routes 90 and 83 during the final decade of the twentieth century.
