Tortuga Creek and the East Branch drainage system dominate this portion of the South Texas brush country, reflecting a landscape defined by water management and energy extraction in the early 1970s. The terrain is dotted with man-made reservoirs such as Silver Lake Tank, Headquarters Tank, and the descriptively named Lost Waterhole Tank, which supported cattle ranching in an arid environment.
