About this map

Woodlawn Cem and Saint Patrick Cem sit near the eastern boundary of this survey, marking a quiet corner of Zavala County where ranching and drainage networks dominate the landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of winding watercourses and seasonal sloughs, including Childers Slough, Gallina Slough, and the meandering Gallina Cr. These natural drainages are supplemented by numerous engineered water sources necessary for land management in this part of South Texas, such as Cutoff Rock Tank, Cow Hill Tank, and Indio Tank. Transportation through this rural area is facilitated by established routes like Ranch Rd 117 and High Fence Rd, which connect the scattered agricultural operations and water tanks. The naming of features like Tortuga Cr and Saladillo Tank reflects the regional heritage, showing how water management remains the primary human imprint on this open country.
