About this map

The Maverick and Zavala County border defines the western edge of this South Texas landscape, where the ephemeral drainage systems of the Rio Grande basin carve through the brush country. Significant water storage is represented by the Griffin Cattle Company Lake in the north and Finley Lake central to the quadrangle, indicating the region's reliance on managed water resources for ranching. The terrain is a network of interlocking seasonal streams, including the prominent Chaparrosa Cr and the winding Palo Blanco Cr. These waterways, along with the Arroyo de San Lucas, follow the natural contours of the land, reflecting the traditional ranching boundaries and land-use patterns that have persisted in this part of Maverick County into the early twenty-first century.
