About this map

Gillett and Pandora anchor this rural landscape in Karnes and Wilson Counties, where South Texas ranching and agriculture define the geography. The terrain is marked by a complex network of seasonal drainages and cattle tanks, including Ecleto Cr and Shockley Cr, which wind through the low hills. Named landmarks like Tom White Hollow and El Negro Ranch Lake speak to the family-held land and local heritage of the region.

Private aviation and water management are prominent on the sheet, with Bailey Airport serving the area while multiple water bodies, such as Coates Estate Lake Number 1 and Weinert Reservoir, reflect the importance of ranch-land irrigation. The boundaries of Gonzales and Wilson Counties intersect in the northeastern corner, illustrating the administrative divisions of this sparsely populated cattle country.
