2013 Map of Arroyo Burro

About this map

The arid landscape of Zapata County reveals a network of seasonal drainages and ranch infrastructure in this 2013 U.S. Geological Survey representation. The most prominent hydrological feature is Cavasara Cr, which meanders across the territory, illustrating the typical drainage patterns of the South Texas brush country. This survey provides a modern snapshot of land division and remote access roads, documenting how the terrain is managed for ranching and resource extraction. The map serves as a vital record for understanding the contemporary geography of this borderlands region, where the interplay between ephemeral water sources and property boundaries defines the human footprint on the land.
