2016 Map of Quintana

About this map

Melon Creek and its smaller tributary Melon Cr wind through this coastal Texas landscape, defining a region where ranching and local aviation intersect. The presence of the Melon Ranch Airport south of FM 774 highlights the role of private airfield infrastructure in managing large landholdings in Refugio County. The terrain is characterized by low-lying wetlands and intermittent water bodies, most notably the seasonal expanse of Mustang Lake. Local transit relies on a network of named tracks such as Melon Ranch Rd and T-C Oil Rd, the latter suggesting the historical importance of petroleum extraction in the area. Drainage patterns across the quadrangle are further shaped by Alameda Cr and Copano Cr, which flow toward the nearby Gulf coast systems.
