About this map

Hacienda and the surrounding brush country of Uvalde County are defined by the winding course of the Nueces River, which cuts through a landscape of distinctive limestone uplands and intermittent drainages. The topography is marked by several named elevations including Cantrell Mtn, Sulphur Mtn, and the prominent Nueces Hill. Hydrological features like Wood Slough and Turkey Cr snake across the terrain, feeding into the river system or terminating at local landmarks like Soldiers Camp Springs.

Surface water management is evident through numerous collection points such as Thompson Tank Reservoir, Big Tank, and Skiffa Tank, reflecting the ranching heritage of this Texas region. Road access is provided by several routes including Cty Rd 481 and FM 481, with the State Highway 3 Bridge serving as a key crossing point for the river. Historical markers such as Weymiller Butte and Obi Hill provide localized landmarks for those tracing land surveys or genealogical records in this part of South Texas.
