About this map

The town of Catarina stands as the primary settlement on this South Texas landscape, characterized by a complex network of ephemeral drainage and seasonal reservoirs. Surveyed during the mid-1970s, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of San Roque Creek and Burro Creek, which feed into prominent water bodies like San Roque Lake and the central Burro Lake.

Evidence of ranching and remote infrastructure is pervasive, with numerous named livestock tanks such as Buyquie Tank, Chacho Tank, and the curiously named So What Tank punctuating the brushland. A dedicated Landing Strip in the southern portion of the quadrangle suggests the importance of aerial access in this expansive region of Dimmit County. The map provides a precise record of rural property improvements, including several other water sources like Hagers Tank and Bubba Tank, situated along the drainages of Las Tablas Creek.
