About this map

The Old Nueces River Channel defines the northern reaches of this landscape, marking the historical shifts of the river system along the border of McMullen County. This terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems and livestock infrastructure, including the Rowland Tank Number 1 and Pulgas Tank. Large ranching tracts are evident through the naming of local water features such as Duval County Ranch Lake Number 1 and Jessie May Lake Number 2, which suggest established landholdings and water management for cattle operations.

Ephemeral streams like Mirasol Creek, Ygnacio Cr, and Juanita Cr weave through the contours, illustrating the hydrologic patterns of the South Texas brush country. The southern portion of the map transitions into Duval County, where Walker Rd provides one of the few named transport links in an area dominated by private ranching interests and industrial infrastructure, as noted by the presence of the Pipeline Tank.
