1980 Map of Agua Azul Creek West

About this map

Agua Azul Creek winds through this South Texas landscape along the border of Webb Co and Zapata Co. Recorded in the mid-1970s and edited by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1980, the terrain is defined by a network of intermittent drainages including Cerrito Creek, San Juanito Creek, and Barrocito Creek. The presence of Oil Wells and a prominent Landing Strip suggests the active industrial and ranching use of the land during this era. Water management is a visible priority in this arid environment, evidenced by scattered livestock reservoirs such as Los Lasos Tank and Jordan Tank. An Indefinite Boundary separates the two counties in the southern portion of the sheet, while private land designations and pipelines cut across the brush country, illustrating the intersection of energy infrastructure and traditional landholdings near El Jaral Creek.
