[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] [[underlined]]June 25[[/underlined]] to [[underlined]]Center Point[[/underlined]]. Left San Antonio at 9:15 AM. & reached Centerpoint about noon. The country is rough & hilly & stony with ledges & cliffs along the gulches & streams. The stone is horizontal limestone that has been cut out by erosion, leaving many flat topped ridges & buttes & long terraces. Narrow valleys lie along the streams and most of these are occupied by ranches. Where not cleared both valleys & ridges are mainly covered with scrub oak, juniper & ^[[such]] low scattered timber. The little walnuts, sycamores & cypresses grow along the streams. There have been no rains for weeks & the country is all dried up. All crops are injured & many ruened. but they look better up toward Center Point than in the San Antonio region. Grass has turned brown & the country looks barren & baked. The river is very low. No rain for a month & not much in winter.
Transcription Notes:
"ruened" is ruined, but transcribed as written.
