1969 Map of Loma Alta NE

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Leopard Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Leopard Creek and Elm Creek, define the drainage patterns of this McMullen County landscape during the late 1960s. The area is characterized by sparse ranching outposts such as Hasete Ranch and Atkinson Ranch, which reflect the remote nature of the South Texas brush country before more intensive modern development. In the southern portion of the sheet, the small settlement of Loma Alta sits near a crossing of major local transit routes, adjacent to a designated Rest Area. Industrial activity is limited but present, seen in the Gravel Pit near Black Creek and a network of Pipeline corridors. Notable water features like Red Gate Tank and the uniquely named Devils Waterhole Creek suggest the importance of water management for livestock in this semi-arid environment.
