2022 Map of Mirasol Creek

About this map

Old Nueces River Channel anchors the northern reaches of this landscape, where the border between McMullen and Duval counties cuts across a terrain defined by intermittent drainage and managed water resources. This modern survey illustrates a ranching economy reliant on artificial catchments and tanks to sustain livestock in the brush country. Notable water features include Duval County Ranch Lake Number 1 and Duval County Ranch Lake Number 2, which suggest the footprint of large-scale landholdings. The drainage network is shaped by Mirasol Cr, Ygnacio Cr, and Juanita Cr, which feed into various tanks like Rowland Tank and Pulgas Tank. Human infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of oil and gas assets like Pipeline Tank and the singular Walker Rd, reflecting the remote, industrial-agricultural character of South Texas at this time.
