2016 Map of Hensley Lake

About this map

The San Antonio River meanders across this landscape, creating a complex hydrologic network of oxbows and tributaries like Horseshoe Lake and Cadena Cr. Near the settlement of Fannin, the geography transitions from the river bottomlands into the distinctive drainage features of Sand Hollow and Portis Draw. This 2016 survey documents the rural character of Goliad County, where local history is preserved in sites such as Sepenter Cem and Fannin Cem. The map reveals a landscape defined by its many creeks, including Manahuilla Cr, Perdido Cr, and Alligator Cr, which cut through a grid of rural roads such as Sepenter Rd and Franke Rd. Hensley Lake stands as a prominent local landmark in the southwestern quadrant, illustrating the water-dependent nature of this South Texas region.
