2010 Map of Encinal

About this map

Encinal serves as the central hub of this South Texas landscape, situated along a primary transportation corridor that bisects the region. The map reveals a pattern of rural landholdings and ranching infrastructure, such as Ramon Ranch and the Kinsel Lake Dam on Chucareto Creek. Significant family-named sites including G Wellhausen, J Myer, and L Martin reflect the genealogical history of La Salle County. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent waterways, most notably Tecolate Creek, Jaboncillo Creek, and Dolores Creek, which dictate the placement of local roads like Jordan Rd and Martineña Rd. These drainage patterns and small-scale ranching developments illustrate the adaptation of settlement to the semi-arid Brush Country environment.
