2012 Map of Peggy

About this map

The Lipan Hills and McCoy Hollow define the undulating landscape of south-central Texas in this 2012 survey. The area is characterized by a sparse, ranch-oriented settlement pattern centered around Peggy and Esseville. Water management is a primary feature of the local geography, visible through a series of numbered reservoirs and family-named water bodies like Lillian Esse Lake, James Esse Lake, and the Taylor Lake Number 1 complex. A network of rural roads, including FM-1099 and Oil Field Rd, connects these remote properties across a terrain drained by Olmos Cr, Salt Br, and Bell Cr. The presence of the Hacienda de la Tordilla in the northwest suggests a deep-rooted agricultural or ranching history in Atascosa County, where the economy remains tied to the land and its intermittent creek systems.
