About this map

Chilipitin Lake and its associated Chilipitin Cr define the northern drainage of this South Texas landscape in Maverick County. The terrain is characterized by an extensive system of ephemeral water management, evidenced by numerous named stock tanks that served the local ranching economy. These features, such as Toro Santos Tank, Americanos Tank, and Singleton Tank, highlight the critical importance of water storage in this semi-arid region.

Several significant drainages converge or traverse the area, including the winding paths of Chacon Cr and Picosa Cr. The map reveals a land divided by ranch boundaries and property lines rather than dense settlements, with smaller seasonal watercourses like Chimeneas Cr and Chueco Cr feeding into the larger creek systems. For researchers, these named landmarks provide essential waypoints for tracing historical land use and early 21st-century ranching infrastructure.
