2016 Map of Christine West

About this map

Christine occupies the eastern edge of this Atascosa County landscape, situated where the grid of 1 Ave and 3rd St meets the open range. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent watercourses, including the westward reaches of Turkey Cr and Goose Cr, which carve through the brush country. The map reveals a land divided into large ranching or agricultural tracts, connected by a systematic web of county roads such as La Parita Rd and the family-named Buchenschultz Trl. Near the northern border, Schorsch Lake and the headwaters of Stancel Cr provide rare permanent water features in this semi-arid environment. This 2016 survey captures the rural character of the South Texas plains, showing a landscape where modern infrastructure like FM 140 follows the same natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated settlement and transit in the region.
