About this map

Ephemeral watercourses and ranching infrastructure define this Duval County landscape, where the seasonal drainages of Agua Poquita Cr and Macho Cr cut through the South Texas brush country. The map documents a sparsely populated region dependent on localized water management, evidenced by numerous named reservoirs including Valders Tank, Bivora Tank, and Artesian Tank. These features, along with Presa Tank and Leona Tank, reveal the critical importance of water storage for livestock and land use in this arid environment.

Transportation through the quadrangle is anchored by several rural thoroughfares, most notably Fm 2295 and the aptly named Ranch Rd. A solitary aviation landmark, the Hamilton Ranch Airport, serves as a primary reference point in the western half of the map. Smaller local routes such as Co Rd 312 and Privranch Rd provide the necessary access to the sprawling private holdings that characterize this portion of the Texas interior.
