About this map

George West sits at the northeastern edge of this ranching and brushland landscape, where the town's grid meets the drainage network of the Nueces River valley. The terrain is defined by a dense web of ephemeral waterways including Salt Br, S Fork Salt Br, and Timon Cr, which carve through the low-lying plains. A notable feature in this arid environment is Katzfey Lake, situated near the intersection of several county roads and farm-to-market routes.

The map reveals a transition from the structured street plan of George West—evident along Houston St and Mark St—to the expansive rural road system that services the surrounding countryside. Routes such as FM 889 and FM 1873 provide the primary skeleton for transport between scattered homesteads and water sources like Spring Cr and Hackberry Cr. This survey illustrates the persistent importance of local water management and access in the South Texas coastal bend hinterlands.
