1969 Map of Cross NE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The boundary between Atascosa and McMullen counties cuts across this late-1960s landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of ranching infrastructure and intermittent watercourses. Large-scale ranching operations are evidenced by numerous named water tanks and windmills, such as Sacatosa Tank, Strickland Tank, and Vat Tank, which supported livestock in this brush-country environment. The terrain is drained by several significant creek systems, most notably Macho Creek and San Miguel Creek, which weave through the south-central Texas plains. The presence of Javelina Tank and Brahma Tank reflects the local wildlife and cattle breeds essential to the area's identity. Fine dashed lines on the survey indicate selected fence lines, providing genealogists and land historians a rare look at property divisions and range management during this era.
