Bustamante serves as the primary focal point in this south Texas landscape, situated in the northwestern corner of the quadrangle near the Bustamante Cem. The area is defined by a sophisticated network of water management features essential for ranching and agriculture in Zapata County. Numerous livestock tanks, such as Lobitas Tank, Burras Tank, and Beulah Tank, are strategically placed throughout the terrain to catch runoff from seasonal drainages like Arroyo Salado and Villa Cr. The land is scored by several significant arroyos, including Arroyo Huisache and Arroyo Carrizales, which indicate a semi-arid environment where water flow is periodic but intense enough to carve distinct topographical features. Local infrastructure is represented by a series of named roads like Dorace Goodman Rd and Hayes Rd, which connect various remote tanks and ranching sites across the brushland.
