2019 Map of Rincon Bend

About this map

The Aransas River defines the northern boundary of this coastal prairie landscape, winding through a complex of wetlands and sharp oxbows like Rincon Bend and Tule Bend. Positioned at the intersection of Refugio, San Patricio, and Aransas counties, the area is characterized by a network of drainage features and livestock watering points such as Rincon Tank, Chico Tank, and Palomo-Tank. These features, along with the expansive Big Lake and Tule Lake, suggest a land use deeply tied to the hydrological cycles of the Texas Coastal Bend. In the southern portion of the map, the terrain is more systematically divided by a grid of county roads, including Co Rd 92 and CR 1064, while the meandering course of Chiltipin Creek provides a natural contrast to the surveyed property lines.
