About this map

Lytle and Natalia anchor this South Texas landscape, where the agricultural legacy of the Natalia Canal intersects with the industrial footprint of the Verna-Anacacho Oil Field. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Fort Ewell Cr, Chacon Cr, and the various branches of the Atascosa River, such as the Spring Atascosa River and the W Prong Atascosa River. These watercourses dictate the historical settlement patterns, with roads like FM-463 and Co RD-6710 following the higher ground between the creek beds.

Evidence of the area's resource-based economy is visible in the presence of a Coal Mine located between the two primary townsites. The map also captures the local water management infrastructure through the Chacon Reservoir and the extensive system of county roads and private lanes that provide access to the rural ranching and oil-producing properties that characterize the region south of the growing Interstate corridor.
