2019 Map of Loma Vista

About this map

The Leona River and Gallina Slough define the northern drainage of this arid Zavala County landscape, where water management is the primary driver of human settlement. The small community of Loma Vista serves as the focal point, situated near the intersection of several ranching roads including Ranch Rd 1867 and Loma Vista Rd. A history of family landholdings is evident in the numerous named catchment basins that dot the terrain, such as Old Zachman Tank, Carmichael Tank, and Taquache Tank. These man-made features, essential for livestock in the brush country, illustrate the reliance on localized water sources away from the main channels of Cibolo Cr and Loma Vista Cr. Genealogists will find the Loma Vista Cem south of the main settlement, resting in the shadow of the prominent Loma Vista Hill.
