About this map

San Caja Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this segment of McMullen County, anchoring a landscape defined by the winding course of the Nueces River. The river's influence on the terrain is evident through the presence of the Old River channel, suggesting a history of shifting watercourses and seasonal changes in this South Texas environment. The drainage network is further detailed by Hill Creek, Spur Creek, and Dragoon Creek, which carve through the surrounding brushland.

Named landforms such as Drakes Point and several distinct lowlands like Dragoon Hollow, Lagrand Hollow, and San Caja Hollow provide specific points of reference for local historians and researchers. The map illustrates a rural area primarily organized around natural topography and water access, with a network of local roads and 4WD tracks connecting the various hollows and points across the plains.
