2016 Map of Rosita

About this map

Family names and ranching history anchor this portion of Duval County, where the settlement of Rosita serves as a central point for the surrounding landscape. The area is notable for its high density of family cemeteries, indicating generations of local land stewardship and ancestral ties to the terrain. These include the Ruiz Cem, Alaniz Cem, Reyes Cem, Rangel Cem, Peña Cem, Buena Vista Cem, and Cantu Cem, which are scattered across the quadrangle alongside a network of county roads such as Co RD 341 and Co RD 320. Water management is a visible priority in this South Texas environment, evidenced by several engineered impoundments including Soil Conservation Service Site 8 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 11 Reservoir. These reservoirs supplement the natural drainage provided by Tarancahuas Cr and Rosita Cr.
