About this map

Rhineland occupies the southeastern portion of this landscape, situated south of the wide, braided course of the Brazos River. This region is defined by its sophisticated system of water management for cattle and agriculture, featuring dozens of named stock ponds and catchment basins such as Horse Pasture Tank, Deep Tank, and Waggoner Tank. To the west, larger bodies like Lake Catharine and Lake Davis sit near the confluence of Dutchman Cr and the river valley.

The northern terrain becomes more intricate near The Narrows, where the land drops toward the drainage of Red Cr. Local family names and functional land use are recorded in labels like Shipman Trap Tank and Glover Trap Tank, which punctuate the open range. A network of farm-to-market roads and county routes, including FM 2534 and Co RD 4260, connects the settlement of Rhineland to the surrounding ranchland.
