1972 Map of El Chapote Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Intermittent drainage systems and South Texas brushlands define this landscape in Starr County, dominated by the winding course of Arroyo Grande and the eponymous El Chapote Creek. The terrain is marked by a network of ranching and early energy infrastructure, with several Gas Well sites and a prominent Pipeline cutting through the northern and eastern sections. Small pockets of human history appear in the form of family-named landmarks and rural settlements such as Sanchez and Chinges. Local genealogy is anchored by the presence of the Elizondo Cem and Garcia Cem located near the eastern boundary, while the topography is punctuated by numerous Drill Holes that signal the era's subsurface exploration. Numerous small tributaries, including Barrosos Creek and Las Escobas Creek, create a complex web of seasonal watercourses across the undulating plains.
