2016 Map of Batesville NW

About this map

Batesville serves as the primary community on this survey of northwestern Zavala County, situated along the eastern edge of the map. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of ephemeral water features and man-made reservoirs common to this arid ranching region, including Kiefer Lake, Indio Tank, and Cutoff Rock Tank. The drainage pattern is dictated by several key watercourses such as Gallina Cr and Tortuga Cr, which are supplemented by sloughs like Childers Slough and Gallina Slough. Significant local landmarks for genealogists and researchers include Woodlawn Cem and Saint Patrick Cem, both located near the settlement. Transportation in the mid-2010s is anchored by Route 57 and several rural thoroughfares including High Fence Rd and Ranch Rd 117, providing access to the more remote areas like Cow Hill.
