2012 Map of Quemado East

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the primary geographical anchor for this section of Maverick County, shaping the local agricultural landscape and infrastructure. Near the river, the settlement of Normandy and the outskirts of Quemado are interconnected by a network of farm-to-market roads, including FM-1665 and FM-1908. The region's reliance on water management is evident through features like the Maverick Irrigation District Canal and Ditch Number Fifteen, which provide essential water to the arid terrain. Local history and family roots can be traced through sites such as the Valley Cem and the naming of topographical landmarks like Cañon Grande and Cañon Chiquita. This map reflects the structured rural economy of the early 21st century, where large-scale irrigation and cattle-related water sources like Parra Tank define the utility of the land.
