2012 Map of Arroyo Huisache

About this map

Bustamante anchors the northern edge of this South Texas landscape, where the seasonal drainage systems of Zapata County define the patterns of ranching and movement. The map captures a dryland environment carved by numerous arroyos, including Arroyo Salado, Arroyo Palomas, and Arroyo Carizales. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the high concentration of named stock tanks such as Lobitas Tank, Beulah Tank, and Arenosa Tank that dot the arid terrain.
