About this map

Chaparrosa Ranch dominates the southwestern portion of this Zavala County landscape, where the infrastructure of large-scale Texas ranching is meticulously documented. The presence of the Chaparrosa Ranch Airport and various named water management features like Chaparrosa Lake Dam and Willow Tank Dam underscores the necessity of aviation and water storage in this semi-arid environment. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Maverick Creek and Turkey Creek, which are punctuated by a dense system of wind-powered water pumps. These landmarks, including the Turkey Creek Windmill, Comstock Windmill, and Sevenmile Windmill, serve as critical navigational aids across the open range. In the north, Oliphant Ranch sits near the headwaters of Windmill Creek, illustrating the dispersed settlement pattern of the region's historic cattle operations.
