About this map

Cayo del Grullo dominates the coastal landscape of this Kleberg County survey, where the brackish waters meet a network of seasonal drainages and isolated water sources. The map details a transition from the bay's edge to a flat interior defined by ranching infrastructure and intermittent hydrology, such as Madero Lake and the ephemeral course of Pinto Cr. A sparse network of county roads, including Co RD 2180 and E Co RD 2210, provides the primary access to this coastal plain.

Water management is central to the history of this region, evidenced by the distribution of named wells across the terrain. From Telephone Well in the central reaches to Mesquite Well and Tres Esquinas Well further north, these features highlight the essential role of groundwater in supporting local land use. The map also records the presence of Tunas Cr and several other family-named landmarks like Gallito Well and Jabalina Well, which serve as key points of reference for local genealogy and land tenure studies in South Texas.
