About this map

Hacienda anchors this stretch of Uvalde County, where the topography transitions from the winding course of the Nueces River into a landscape punctuated by numerous named peaks and ridges. The river is a primary corridor, crossed by the State Highway 3 Bridge and joined by tributaries such as Elm Cr and Mustang Cr. The presence of large-scale water features like Big Tank and Little Big Tank suggests a ranching environment dependent on managed water resources in this part of South Texas.

The terrain is defined by distinct landmarks, including the prominent elevations of Cantrell Mtn, Sulphur Mtn, and the distinctive Weymiller Butte. These summits, alongside Obi Hill and Tom Nunn Hill, provide a clear picture of the local relief as it was surveyed in the early 21st century. The map also traces historical drainage patterns such as Wood Slough, offering a detailed view of the natural hydrology that shaped local land use and ranching boundaries.
