2016 Map of Imperialist Tank

About this map

The semi-arid rangelands of the Kinney Co Maverick Co border define this 2016 survey, a landscape primarily shaped by the management of surface water for ranching. Numerous named catchments, often locally referred to as tanks, are distributed across the terrain to capture runoff from seasonal waterways like Imperialist Cr and Elm Cr. These features, including Imperialist Tank and Xmas Tank, represent the critical infrastructure of South Texas cattle country, where reliable water sources are the primary drivers of land use.
