2010 Map of MacDonald Lake

About this map

The Nueces River winds through the northeast corner of this Dimmit County landscape, where the drainage patterns of Appurceon Creek and Soldier Slough define the open ranch land. This 2010 survey records a rural territory structured by a grid of transit routes including Ranch Rd 2522 and FM 190. A significant number of family-named agricultural holdings and residences are established across the quadrangle, suggesting a stable community of long-standing landowners. Notable markers of local occupancy include Eardly Farm and properties belonging to Carl Ellington, Mike Howard, and O K Braune. The presence of the Ward Lake Dam on Appurceon Creek highlights the essential water management required in this South Texas environment, while smaller named tributaries like El Moro Creek further reveal the area's hydrology.
