About this map

Peggy sits at the center of this rural South Texas landscape, defined by a complex network of ranching roads and water management features. The area's agricultural character is evident through numerous named reservoirs and dams, including Lillian Esse Lake and a series of structures like Taylor Lake Number 1 and Taylor Lake Number 2. Small, specialized locales such as Esseville and Hacienda de la Tordilla point to the local history of land ownership and settlement patterns in Atascosa County.

The terrain transitions from the elevations of the Lipan Hills in the northwest to the low-lying drainages of Olmos Creek and Salt Branch. A prominent feature is McCoy Hollow, which guides the flow toward the numerous artificial lakes used for livestock and local irrigation. The road system, dominated by routes like FM 99 and FM 1099, connects these scattered homesteads and water bodies, illustrating the logistical layout of contemporary Texas ranching.
