2013 Map of Cross
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
The settlement of Cross and its neighboring Cross Cem lie at the center of this rural McMullen County landscape, where ranching and water management define the geography. The terrain is intricately carved by intermittent waterways such as San Miguel Cr and Bill Walker Cr, which feed into a network of livestock tanks and engineered reservoirs. Notable among these are Wheeler Lake Number 1 and Wheeler Lake Number 2, alongside numerous family-named landmarks like Franklin Ranch. The prevalence of named catchments, including Lone Star Tank and Beulah Tank, reflects a landscape adapted for cattle operations in a region where water is a vital resource. Roadways such as Green Franklin Rd and Yeager Rd connect these dispersed ranching outposts across the brush-country of South Texas.
