2016 Map of Mogotes Hill

About this map

Mogotes Hill dominates this portion of the South Texas brush country, where a network of ephemeral drainages and ranch roads defines the landscape in the mid-2010s. The drainage patterns of Arroyo Blanco and Cañada Honda reflect the semi-arid environment of Zapata County, leading toward a series of creeks including Salomoneno Cr and Las Ovejas Cr. Human presence is largely marked by cattle-ranching infrastructure, seen in the path of Jennings Ranch Rd and the namesake Roy Jennings Lake. This terrain, characterized by subtle elevation changes and seasonal watercourses like Taquache Cr and Escobas Cr, remains focused on large-scale landholdings and traditional ranching routes such as Tanque Rd.
