About this map

San Juanito Creek and Retama Creek dominate this South Texas landscape, carving intricate drainage patterns through the brush country of Webb County. The presence of several private water management structures, such as the Hirsch Estate Lake Dam and Martin Lake Dam, indicates the ranching and agricultural importance of the region's limited water resources. Small reservoirs like Killam Lake Number 1 Dam further illustrate the modification of the natural hydrology to support local livestock or land management needs.

Transportation through this territory is defined by Mangana Hein road and Highway 359, which bridge the various drainage basins. The Killam Siding railroad point serves as a key industrial landmark along the northern edge, while minor waterways like Lobo Creek and Cerrito Creek feed into the larger creek systems. The map reflects a modern period of rural Texas development where large estates and infrastructure projects define the local geography.
