1982 Map of Caiman Creek NW

About this map

Caiman Creek and its southern tributaries wind through the south Texas brush country in this 1982 survey of La Salle County. The landscape is primarily defined by its drainage patterns and water management features, including a prominent Levee and several small tanks or ponds characteristic of cattle ranching territory. Human infrastructure is sparse but functional, centered around a private Landing Strip and a significant Pipeline corridor that cuts across the northern landscape. The network of unimproved roads and fences implies a region of large-scale ranch holdings where Chucareto Creek and Tecolote Creek serve as critical natural landmarks. This provisional map records a specific moment in the land's utility before further energy or ranching developments altered the rural South Texas terrain.
