Leakey, Texas
Leakey ( ) is a city in and the county seat of Real County, Texas, United States. The population was 425 at the 2010 census. The city is named for John H.

In the surface between this pair and Leakey is a system of rilles designated the Rimae Gutenberg that follow a course to the southeast. Leakey is a circular, bowl-shaped formation that is symmetrical and not significantly eroded. The inner walls slope down to a ring of low albedo Albedo (; ) is the measure of the diffuse reflection of solar radiation out of the total solar radiation and measured on a scale from 0, corresponding to a black body that absorbs all incident radiation, to 1, corresponding to a body that refle ... material having a diameter about half that of the crater.
