About this map

FM 481 cuts a diagonal path through this arid stretch of Maverick County, serving as the primary corridor across a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses. The network of drainages, including the branching Elm Cr and Mula Cr, suggests a terrain shaped by occasional but heavy water flow. These creeks eventually converge toward Chacon Cr in the south, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of the Texas borderlands.

In the eastern portion of the survey, Buck Hollow provides a distinct topographic landmark amidst the winding paths of Palo Blanco Cr. The absence of dense settlements at this time highlights the rural, ranch-oriented character of the region. Local researchers can trace the intersection of historical cattle country geography with the modern road system, where Salado Cr and other ephemeral streams dictate the placement of ranch infrastructure and crossings.
