2019 Map of Loma Alta NW

About this map

The Nueces River winds through the heart of this McMullen County landscape, its meandering path defined by complex riparian features like the Old Nueces River Channel and Winn Lake Slue. This 2019 survey documents a terrain dominated by hydrologic management and ranching infrastructure, characterized by an extensive network of named stock tanks and catchment basins. Local land use is reflected in features such as Dinosaur Tank, George Tank, and Arthur Tank, alongside the larger reservoirs of Bob Hinces Lake Number 1 and its numbered counterparts. The drainage patterns of San Jose Cr and Elm Slue further illustrate the watershed's role in supporting South Texas agricultural interests. Apart from FM 624 and local routes like San Jose Rd, the area remains largely undeveloped, preserving the original hydrological signatures of Alligator Lake and the river's former courses.
