2013 Map of Harris Lake

About this map

The Nueces River meanders across this South Texas landscape, defining the hydrology of a region characterized by wide brushlands and intermittent drainages. In this 2013 snapshot, the river is fed by several tributaries, including Sage Cr and Espio Cr to the west, while Salt Cr drains the northern plains. This area of La Salle County is marked by large-scale ranching operations, centered on landmarks like the Cochina Ranch. The map captures the infrastructure of the Eagle Ford Shale era, with a network of local roads and state highways like FM 468 and FM 469 providing access to the interior. Notable water features include Harris Lake near the riverbank and Edwards Lake to the southeast, both critical points for local livestock and wildlife in the semi-arid Brush Country.
