About this map

Karnes City serves as the primary urban center in this South Texas landscape, where the town’s western edge gives way to an extensive network of water management features. The area is defined by a significant series of reservoirs, including Soil Conservation Service Site 9 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Reservoir, which illustrate a modern agricultural and flood control infrastructure designed to manage the watershed of Escondido Cr and its tributaries.

Further south, the small settlement of Lenz sits near several other conservation sites, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir. For those researching local heritage, the New Bremen Cem is a notable landmark west of the main creeks. The map details a labyrinth of rural routes, from FM 99 to Co RD 187, that connect the various farms and ranchlands across the drainage basins of Olmos Cr, Doe Br, and Bucker Cr.
