2019 Map of Olmos Creek

About this map

Black Brush Ridge and the low-lying Kennedy Flats anchor a landscape defined by an extensive network of ephemeral drainages and stock tanks at the intersection of Maverick, Zavala, Uvalde, and Kinney Counties. The drainage pattern is complex, with Olmos Cr, Muela Cr, and Chaparrosa Cr carving shallow paths through the brush country. The reliance on managed water sources for ranching is evident in the numerous named tanks, such as Lilly Pad Tank, Muela Tank, and the larger Griffin Cattle Company Lake to the south. Ranch Rd 481 serves as the primary artery through this territory, cutting across Conejos Cr as it connects the scattered ranching operations. The topography is subtle but significant for local navigation, marked by elevations like Buck Hill and the distinct path of the Arroyo de San Lucas.
