2022 Map of San Caja Hill

About this map

The Nueces River winds through this section of McMullen County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent watercourses and ranching history. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like San Caja Hill and Drakes Point, which rise above a network of drainages including Dragoon Cr and Hill Cr. These features, along with names like Lagrand Hollow and San Caja Hollow, suggest a legacy of local land use where water sources and high ground were critical for navigation and livestock. Infrastructure is sparse, characterized primarily by Four Sisters Ranch Rd, which provides access to the interior of these extensive landholdings. The presence of Old River indicates a shifting fluvial environment where the main channel has migrated over time, leaving behind traces of its former path across the brush country.
