About this map

Chittim Gas Field occupies the high ground of this Maverick County landscape, signaling the industrial importance of resource extraction in South Texas during the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of intermittent drainages, including the winding paths of Mustang Creek, Picosa Creek, and Indian Creek, which converge as they move across the quadrangle.

Given the arid environment, the map reveals a critical reliance on man-made water catchments. Numerous tanks, such as Indian Tank, Golondrina Tank, and Rincon de Flores Tank, are scattered throughout the brush country to support ranching and local operations. Transportation is centered on FM 481, which cuts diagonally across the survey, connecting the isolated hills like Chapotal Hill with the broader region. This 2010 survey reflects a modern era of land management where energy production and traditional ranching infrastructure coexist.
