2010 Map of Chacon Creek SW

About this map

Chacon Creek and its many intermittent tributaries define this ranching landscape in Maverick County during the early twenty-first century. The map reveals a sophisticated network of water management features, critical for livestock in this semi-arid region, including Toro Santos Tank, Bean Salinas Tank, and Equirada Tank. These earthen stock tanks are dispersed across a terrain marked by named drainages like Picosa Creek and Spurler Creek. The primary human footprint is found at Burke Ranch, which sits amidst a web of rural roads. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, Chilipitin Lake provides a notable natural water body along the course of Chilipitin Creek, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use and ranch boundaries in this part of South Texas.
