About this map

Frio River drainage patterns define this South Texas landscape in McMullen County, where a series of ephemeral creeks and significant ranching infrastructure mark the terrain. The presence of Yarbrough Lake in the northeastern corner suggests localized water management or a natural depression typical of the brush country. Further south, the map reveals a network of named water features including Singer Lake, Whitmire Lake, and Bracken Ranch Lake, indicating the importance of water storage for the surrounding ranchlands.

Local transport is dominated by rural county roads and ranch access routes such as McClaugherty and Zavisch, which cross the undulating topography of Block Hill Hollow and Dragoon Hollow. These features, along with names like Wentz Ranch Rd and Bracken Ranch Rd, highlight the large-scale landholdings and the enduring cattle-ranching legacy of the region. The drainage of Dragoon Cr and Paisano Cr toward the south suggests a landscape defined by seasonal water flow and rugged draws.
