OLMOS CREEK (UVALDE COUNTY) OLMOS CREEK (Uvalde County). Olmos
Creek rises (at 29°08' N, 100°04' W) in far southwestern Uvalde
County two miles southeast of Dabney and runs south for twelve
miles to its mouth (at 29°01' N, 100°04' W) on Muela Creek,
fourteen miles northwest of La Pryor in northwestern Zavala
County. The creek name is Spanish for "elm trees." The stream
rises in flat to gently sloping terrain with local depressions
or sinkholes; the land here is surfaced by very shallow to
shallow and stony clays and loams that support scrub brush and
grasses. The creek continues through low-rolling hills and
prairie with deeper clayey and loamy soils that support
chaparral, some mesquite, and grasses. Toward the mouth of Olmos
Creek the terrain becomes low relief, surfaced by deep loams and
clays that support pecans and other hardwoods and various
grasses. The following, adapted from the Chicago Manual of
