1982 Map of Eagle Pass NE

About this map

Farias Ranch serves as the primary landmark in this rural stretch of South Texas, recorded during a 1976 field check. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of intermittent drainage systems, including the southward-flowing Chueco Creek, Chimeneas Creek, and Saus Creek. These seasonal waterways converge toward the Maverick County Canal and Mule Creek in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals the infrastructure of large-scale ranching and water management in Maverick County during the early 1980s, highlighting the dependence on engineered waterways like the canal to support the arid brushland. This provisional survey captures the distribution of stock tanks and windmills that supported the local cattle industry before later development altered the traditional ranching boundaries.
