2013 Map of Mustang Waterhole

About this map

The W Nueces River carves a winding path through this portion of Kinney County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water sources and ranching history. The eponymous Mustang Waterhole and nearby Double Waterhole serve as critical landmarks in an arid region where reliable water dictated the locations of early settlements and livestock operations. This 2013 survey illustrates the sparse distribution of human activity in the area, anchored by the Martin Ranch in the southeastern quadrant. Natural relief is prominently marked by features such as Barrilla Bluff and the drainage of Rough Hollow, while French Cr feeds into the primary river system. The network of local roads and 4WD tracks trace the topography of the limestone hills, reflecting the enduring rural character of this West Texas terrain.
