2010 Map of Catarina

About this map

Catarina stands as the primary settlement in this corner of South Texas, characterized by its grid of streets and proximity to the southern segment of Old Hwy 83 S. The surrounding landscape is defined by an extensive network of water management, visible through numerous named dams and reservoirs such as Light Lake Number 1 Dam and Harrison Lake Number 5 Dam. These structures support the ranching operations that dominate the region, including the areas near Kearny and the H Dillon site. Transportation and logistics for these large landholdings are facilitated by private airstrips like the Briggs Ranch Airport and the Harrison Piloncillo Ranch Airport. The drainage of San Roque Creek and the presence of San Roque Lake further illustrate the vital role of water in this semi-arid environment during the early 21st century.
