2016 Map of Olmos Creek

About this map

Kennedy Flats and the rugged expanse of the Black Brush Ridge define this South Texas landscape where the boundaries of Maverick, Zavala, Kinney, and Uvalde counties converge. The drainage network is dominated by the seasonal paths of Olmos Creek and Muela Cr, which feed into a complex system of livestock tanks essential for ranching in this arid environment. Named water features like Lilly Pad Tank, Government Tank, and the Griffin Cattle Company Lake suggest a history of managed water rights and land use. Local landmarks such as Black Hill and Buck Hill rise above the surrounding terrain, while secondary roads including Ranch Rd 481 provide the primary means of navigation through these large ranch holdings and natural draws like the Arroyo de San Lucas.
