The view of the Frio River from Farm Road 1050. The river is very wide and shallow at this section, and obviously it can easily handle floods in its wide banks. There was a surprisingly good water flow when I took this photo on April 28, 2001.

Although these two roadways are distinctly numbered, they form an east-west crossing through this region. Both roadways traverse rocky hills and valleys with pasture and oak.
