2022 Map of Paloma

About this map

The community of Paloma stands at the center of this South Texas landscape, defined by a network of drainage ways and cattle tanks that supported the region's ranching heritage into the 2020s. Centered in Maverick County, the terrain is marked by Elm Creek, which flows past landmarks like Bandera School Land Lake and Consuelo Hill. The map serves as a record of early 21st-century land ownership and water management, highlighting named water sources such as Burr Estate Lake Number 2 and the Dunbar Cattle Company Lake. This area, north of the border, retains its traditional character through features like Darling and various stock ponds, including García Tank and Caliche Tank, which illustrate the enduring necessity of artificial water storage in the brush country.
