1941 Map of Botella Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

The boundary between Maverick County and Dimmit County bisects this cattle-country landscape, where survival is dictated by water management and vast ranching holdings. Established family operations such as Glass Ranch, Hamilton Ranch, and San Pedro Ranch serve as the primary landmarks in a region defined by its drainage basins. The intricate network of seasonal waterways, including Botella Creek, San Ambrosia Creek, and Rosita Creek, are supplemented by human-made infrastructure essential for livestock. Numerous watering points like Palo Blanco Tank, English Tank, and Gialla Tank are scattered across the brush-covered hills. This 1941 tactical survey, revised from earlier 1922 data, illustrates the persistence of the South Texas ranching economy and the sparse, strategic settlement patterns of the borderlands prior to modern development.
