2013 Map of Mogotes Hill

About this map

Mogotes Hill stands as the primary topographic landmark in this section of Zapata County, overlooking a landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage and ranching infrastructure. The arid terrain is carved by several ephemeral watercourses, including Escobas Cr and Salómoneno Cr, which flow generally southeast toward larger basins. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern development of the South Texas brush country, where access is provided by family-named routes like Jennings Ranch Rd and Tanque Rd. The map also documents several unnamed paths, such as Un Rd 19 and Un Rd 20, reflecting the functional grid of private ranch lands and resource access roads that characterize this sparsely populated region of the Rio Grande Valley hinterlands.
