2016 Map of Lake Pasture

About this map

Lake Pasture Rd cuts through the coastal prairie of Refugio County, providing access to a landscape defined by seasonal wetlands and a network of tidal drainage. The hydrology of this Gulf Coast region is characterized by the winding paths of Willow Cr, Salt Cr, and Artesian Cr, which meander toward the nearby bay systems. This 2016 survey highlights a vast expanse of open terrain, where large rectangular land divisions and sparse infrastructure reflect the area's ongoing use for ranching and resource management. The lack of concentrated settlements or industrial development on this quadrangle underscores the preserved nature of these low-lying pastures, where the topography remains subtly defined by small depressions and the natural flow of surface water toward the coast.
