About this map

The residential developments of Elm Creek and Siesta Acres anchor the southwestern corner of this Maverick County landscape, where suburban-style street layouts like Elk Ln and Antelope Dr meet the arid brushland of South Texas. This transition from concentrated settlement to open range is defined by an intricate network of livestock water sources, including King Tank, Paula Tank, and George Tank, which are essential for ranching in this semi-arid environment.

Ephemeral watercourses such as Elm Cr and Rosita Cr drain the territory, leading toward the Rio Grande valley further south. Prominent elevations like Deadmans Hill, Chapotol Hill, and Consuelo Hill provide rare vertical relief in the terrain. The map records a modern transportation framework, including Ranch Road 1588 and various county highways, which replaced the wagon trails of earlier eras to connect these remote ranching outposts with the growing border communities.
