2022 Map of Arroyo Salado East

About this map

Arroyo Salado snakes through this ranchland landscape in Zapata County, defining the drainage patterns of a region characterized by ephemeral waterways and low-lying topography. The map illustrates a network of unimproved roads and fences typical of South Texas cattle country, where water management is central to the land's utility. Significant water features such as Jesse McNeel Lake Number 4 and the winding course of Cavasara Cr serve as vital landmarks in this sparse terrain. Transportation through the area is anchored by FM 3169 and Ranch Rd 3169, which provide the primary access to the isolated ranch tracts. This survey offers a precise look at the rural infrastructure of the early 2020s, documenting the specific locations of stock tanks and named watercourses that have historically dictated the patterns of settlement and agriculture in this semi-arid environment.
