2012 Map of El Indio

About this map

Rio Grande frontage and irrigation networks define this borderland landscape in Maverick County. The settlement of El Indio serves as the primary hub, structured by a grid including Washington St, N Indio Blvd, and E Canal St. This area reflects the agricultural and ranching heritage of South Texas, where large holdings like Sullivan Ranch and Milton Frank Farms dominate the interior. The hydrology of the region is characterized by ephemeral drainages such as Saus Cr, Mule Cr, and Cuevas Cr, which feed into the river system. Water management for livestock and crops is evident through features like Halsell Lake Number 2 and Beaver Tank, illustrating the reliance on engineered water sources in this semi-arid environment.
