About this map

The Maverick Irrigation District Canal cuts through the southwestern corner of this Maverick County landscape, representing the critical water infrastructure that transformed this arid region. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of ephemeral waterways, including Chimeneas Creek, Saus Creek, and Chueco Creek. Human modification of these drainage systems is evident through numerous small-scale impoundments such as Xmas Tank, Leland Lake Dam, and the Saus Creek Lake Dam. This 2010 survey reveals a land primarily utilized for ranching and water management, with Highway 277 providing the primary transit corridor across the central plain. Further south, Mule Creek and the Basse Lake Dam indicate the continued reliance on scattered reservoirs to support local agricultural or pastoral activities in this South Texas environment.
