2013 Map of MacDonald Lake

About this map

MacDonald Lake and the winding course of the Nueces River anchor this rural landscape in Dimmit County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage features like Soldier Slough, El Moro Cr, and Appurceon Cr, illustrating the hydrology of South Texas. A distinct pattern of land ownership and naming is evident throughout the quadrangle, with numerous small holdings and rural properties identified by individual names such as Eardly Farm, G B Smith, Carl Ellington, and Mike Howard. These labels offer a detailed look at the local genealogy and land use in the early 21st century. The map also traces significant local thoroughfares, including Ranch Road 190 and Ranch Road 2522, which connect these dispersed rural residences and agricultural sites across the scrubland and river bottoms.
