2010 Map of Mogotes Hill

About this map

Mogotes Hill stands as the primary landmark in this rural landscape of southern Texas, where a sparse network of ranch roads and ephemeral watercourses defines the terrain. The presence of the Roy Jennings Lake Dam in the northeast corner indicates localized water management in an area otherwise characterized by the winding beds of Salómoneno Creek and its tributaries. This map provides a clear look at the ranching infrastructure near the turn of the 21st century, centered around the Jennings Rd and Jennings Ranch Rd corridors. The drainage patterns of Las Ovejas Creek, Taquache Creek, and Escobas Creek illustrate the natural watershed of Zapata County, where land use is intimately tied to the intermittent flow of these seasonal streams.
