About this map

The arid ranchlands of the South Texas brush country dominate this landscape, where the confluence of several seasonal drainages defines the local topography. At the heart of the region, Chacon Creek winds through the terrain, joined by tributaries such as Palo Blanco Creek and Spurler Creek. This area, situated along the county line of Maverick Co and Zavala Co, shows a landscape adapted for resource extraction and livestock management in the mid-1970s.

Evidence of local industry is scattered throughout the map, including a Pumping Sta and various Gas Wells. Water management for cattle is visible through features like the Mato Oso Tank and the small catchment of Twin Lakes. The extensive network of a Pipeline cutting across the drainages of Chapurrosa Creek and Picosa Creek underscores the energy infrastructure developed during this era of Texas ranching history.
