About this map

Elm Creek and its many tributaries, including Salado Creek and Mula Creek, carve a branching network through this Maverick County landscape in the mid-1970s. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns and the rural infrastructure supporting local land use, such as several wells and a notable Landing Strip positioned centrally within the survey area.

Activity on the land is reflected in scattered industrial and recreational markers, including a Drill Hole in the north and multiple instances of a Gravel Pit. Near the southern boundary, the Roadside Park adjacent to the main thoroughfare provides a rare designated public landmark in an otherwise utilitarian landscape of ranching and resource extraction. The presence of Palo Blanco Creek and Chacon Creek further illustrates the complex watershed that dictates the placement of roads and structures in this part of South Texas.
