1982 Map of Mesteno Creek North

About this map

Mesteño Creek and Pelon Creek wind through this South Texas landscape where the boundaries of Webb, Dimmit, and La Salle counties converge. This 1982 provisional survey, based on aerial photography from the mid-1970s, captures a sparsely settled region defined by its hydrography and shifting drainage patterns. The course of Las Raices Creek and the smaller Tecolote Creek dominate the topography, illustrating the natural water network that dictated land use in this corner of the state. The map serves as a primary record of the terrain before later developments, detailing the intricate creek beds and elevations that characterize the brush country near the tri-county intersection.
