About this map

Water management dominates this arid stretch of Zavala County, where a complex system of cattle tanks and small lakes punctuates the brush country. Named features like High Lonesome Tank, Youngblood Tank, and McNalley Tank reveal the necessity of engineered water sources for ranching operations in this South Texas landscape. Large surface water features including Chaparrosa Lake and Rutledge Lake sit alongside the drainage of Beef Hollow Cr and Turkey Cr, showing how the local topography has been adapted for agricultural use.

Remote ranching infrastructure is further evidenced by the Chaparrosa Ranch Airport in the northwest, serving as a hub for large-scale land management. Private thoroughfares such as Nelson Ranch Rd and Zacate Ranch Rd provide the primary transit network across these broad acreage holdings. The southern edge of the quadrangle shows signs of municipal utility with the presence of City Landfill Rd, marking the interface between rural ranchlands and localized public services.
