About this map

Seco Mines and several residential colonias define the settlement pattern in this South Texas landscape just north of the border. The area is characterized by a series of low-lying developments such as South Elm Creek Colonia, Sauz Creek Colonia, and Deer Run Colonia concentrated along the southwestern drainage of Elm Creek.

Ephemeral water management is central to life in this arid region, as evidenced by a complex system of tanks and dams. Significant landmarks include King Tank, George Tank, and Middle Tank, alongside more prominent terrain features like Deadmans Hill, Consuelo Hill, and Chapotal Hill. The presence of Thompson Rd and Co Rd 305 highlights the local transportation network connecting these rural communities and watering points across the scrubland.
