La Chusa Hill and Devils Center Table rise above the South Texas brush country in this 2019 survey of McMullen County. The landscape is defined by its water management systems, essential for ranching in this arid climate, including Gueydan Tank, Pipeline Tank, and Dugout Tank. A series of dramatic landforms, including the Devils Waterhole Hills, overlooks a network of seasonal drainages such as Hill Creek, Cow Creek, and the curiously named Devils Waterhole Creek. Transport through this sparse territory is maintained by rural routes like Caron Rd 889 and the evocative Pig Hollow Rd. This map captures a modern snapshot of traditional Texas rangeland where name-places like Devils Waterhole suggest a long history of cattle-country lore and survival on the high plains.
