2022 Map of Mogotes Hill

About this map

Mogotes Hill rises as the central landmark in this portion of South Texas ranching country within Zapata County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of intermittent watercourses, including Arroyo Blanco and Salómeneno Cr, which drain the low brushland and arid terrain. These drainage patterns, such as the Cañada Honda, dictate the layout of the region's ranching infrastructure. Roads like Jennings Ranch Rd and Jennings Rd indicate the importance of long-established family ranching holdings in this sparsely populated area. The map illustrates how historic land boundaries and water access have shaped the modern geography of the county near the Escobas Cr and Taquache Cr systems.
