About this map

The U S Naval Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this Texas brush country survey, marked by a Control Tower and multiple Observation Tower sites. This military presence sits alongside the natural drainage of the Old Nueces River Channel, which defines the far northwestern corner of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by a network of intermittent waterways, including Mirasol Creek, Ygnacio Creek, and Juanita Creek, which flow through the arid landscape toward the Duval County line.

Industrial and ranching activity is evident through the extensive Pipeline network and the presence of Walker Ranch. Water management is critical in this environment, as shown by numerous man-made structures like Rowland Tank, Pulgas Tank, and Pipeline Tank. Towards the south, the economy shifts toward resource extraction with several identified Oil Wells and an isolated Oil Well near the boundary of McMullen Co and Duval Co.
