2019 Map of Sacatosa Tank

About this map

The arid landscape of Maverick County is defined here by an extensive network of water management features and ranching infrastructure. Sacatosa Tank and Black Hill Tank anchor a territory crisscrossed by numerous intermittent drainage systems, including Chimeneas Cr and Chueco Cr. The proliferation of named water catchments like Antonio Tank, Chanto Tank, and Jay Tank indicates the vital importance of water storage in this South Texas brush country. A dense, geometric grid of ranch roads and seismic lines dominates the central and eastern portions of the map, illustrating the systematic land use associated with large-scale ranching operations and potential resource exploration. The presence of the Comanche Ranch Airport in the south, positioned near Highway 277, highlights the remote nature of these holdings and the necessity of private aviation for regional connectivity.
