2013 Map of San Caja Hill

About this map

The Nueces River meanders across this rural expanse of McMullen County, creating a complex drainage network defined by the Old River and various seasonal tributaries. The topography is marked by significant drainage features such as Dragoon Hollow, Lagrand Hollow, and San Caja Hollow, which illustrate the erosive power of water on this South Texas landscape. Rising above the lowlands is San Caja Hill, a prominent landmark in the southeast corner of the map that provides a vertical contrast to the surrounding flats. Land use appears primarily agricultural or ranch-based, evidenced by the sparse road network and scattered clearings. Notable landmarks like Drakes Point and several named creeks, including Hill Cr, Spur Cr, and Dragoon Cr, serve as important navigational markers for local landholders and genealogists tracing family holdings in this corner of the state.
