About this map

The Nueces River winds through the Brush Country of La Salle County, anchoring a landscape defined by ranching and water management. On the eastern edge of the quadrangle, Cotulla serves as the primary hub for the region, positioned near a network of small, localized water bodies such as Koa Lake and Edwards Lake. The river's path is marked by numerous riparian features, including Meeks Lake and Whitwell Lake, which reflect the historic reliance on seasonal flows and irrigation in this semi-arid South Texas terrain.

Local transportation is facilitated by several named rural roads, including Valley Wells Rd and Ranch Rd 469, which connect dispersed ranching operations. The presence of infrastructure like Guttman Reservoir highlights the critical importance of water storage for the local economy. From the banks of Salt Cr to the southern reaches near Cochina Rd, this map documents the modern footprint of a community deeply tied to its hydrological and agricultural roots.
