2012 Map of Loma Alta NW

About this map

The Nueces River winds through this South Texas landscape, accompanied by the Old Nueces River Channel and several distinctive sloughs such as Winn Lake Slue and Outside Slue. Ranching heritage is prominent across the terrain, marked by family-named landmarks like Miles Ranch, San Jose Ranch, and the Chimney Ranch House Tank. These holdings rely on an extensive network of water management features, including Bob Hinces Lake Number 1, Douglas Tank, and Alligator Lake. Transportation in this part of McMullen County is defined by the intersection of FM 624 with rural routes like San Jose Rd and Miles Rd. The map illustrates a modern ranching environment where intermittent streams like Guadalupe Cr and Ygnacio Cr feed into a complex system of tanks and sloughs, essential for land use in this arid region.
