2019 Map of Cross NE

About this map

The Atascosa Co and McMullen Co line bisects this landscape of south Texas ranchlands and ephemeral watercourses. A complex network of stock tanks and reservoirs, such as Sacatosa Tank, Brahma Tank, and Highway Tank, reveals the critical role of water management in this arid cattle country. The drainage system is defined by seasonal flows along San Miguel Cr, Macho Cr, and Clear Cr, while larger bodies like Peeler Lake Number 1 and Maspero Lake anchor the low-lying basins. Local transportation relies on a grid of county roads and ranch access points, including Co RD 442, Strickland Rd, and FM 791, which navigate the subtle changes in elevation marked by features like Hill Tank. This 2019 survey documents the enduring ranching character of the region, where every named tank and drainage reflects decades of land use and family holdings.
