1982 Map of Cayetano Creek

About this map

Pendencia Creek and Cayetano Creek meander through this brush-country terrain on the early 1980s Texas frontier, where the landscape is defined by intermittent drainages and ranching infrastructure. The map documents the rural borderlands along the Maverick and Dimmit county line, a region characterized by its sparsely populated ranch tracts and isolated facilities like the Landing Strip in the northeast. This provisional survey captures the area's essential hydrology, anchored by the westward flow of Comanche Creek. The network of unimproved roads and trails depicted suggests a landscape where movement was dictated by the seasonal behavior of these creek beds, providing a detailed record of land use and property boundaries in South Texas before modern development shifted the rural character of the basin.
