2010 Map of Sacatosa Tank

About this map

Sacatosa Oil Field dominates the central landscape of this South Texas quadrangle, where a dense network of service roads and industrial infrastructure reveals the intensity of energy extraction in Maverick County. The terrain is defined by its drainage systems and water management, with Chimeneas Creek and Chueco Creek cutting through the arid brushland. A distinct pattern of artificial reservoirs, locally termed tanks, serves the ranching and industrial needs of the region. These features, such as Sacatosa Tank, Antonio Tank, and Comanche Tank, provide essential water points in a landscape otherwise marked by seasonal stream beds. In the southern portion of the map, the Farias Ranch Airport indicates the large-scale landholdings and private aviation common to this part of the Texas borderlands during the early 21st century.
