2010 Map of Rosita

About this map

Reyes, Pila Blanca, and Rosita anchor this rural landscape in Duval County, Texas, where the local economy and geography are defined by water management and family lineage. The map reveals an extensive network of small cemeteries, including Ruiz Cemetery, Rangel Cemetery, and Buena Vista Cemetery, which often signify long-standing ranching estates and family holdings in the South Texas brush country. Water infrastructure is a prominent feature of the landscape, with several Soil Conservation Service structures such as Soil Conservation Service Site 8 Dam and Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Dam positioned along Tarancahuas Creek and Rosita Creek. These sites, along with Hoffman Creek, illustrate the critical importance of drainage and erosion control in this region, where the vast web of county roads like Co RD 321 and FM 3196 connects isolated ranching communities.
