About this map

The Maverick County ranching landscape remains defined by its essential water management systems, as seen in this 2022 survey. Named water tanks such as Quemado Tank, Golondrina Tank, and Rincon de Flores Tank are scattered across the terrain, serving as vital infrastructure for livestock and land management. These man-made features are situated among natural drainage systems like Picosa Cr, Mustang Cr, and Indian Cr, which cut through the dry brushland.

Transport through this part of South Texas is facilitated by FM 481 and FM 3078, providing access to isolated points like Chapotal Hill and Noria Tank. The map reveals a land usage pattern heavily reliant on these localized water sources, with names like Chapotal Tank and Colorado Tank hinting at the local history of ranching operations. The area near Indian Tank shows the characteristic low-density development and natural contours that define the borderlands region today.
