About this map

The San Marcos River and Blanco River converge in the northeast corner of this quadrangle, shaping a landscape defined by water management and transit. In 2010, the area shows a complex network of man-made reservoirs managed by the Soil Conservation Service, including numerous sites along Cottonwood Creek and Long Creek. These reservoirs, such as Webster Lake and Scrutchin Lake, speak to the region's efforts to control drainage across the terrain south of San Marcos.

Genealogical interest is found in a string of local burial grounds, including Pitts Cemetery and San Pedro Cemetery to the west, and Redwood Cemetery and Crayton Cemetery to the east near the settlement of Redwood. The presence of the Wood State Fish Hatchery and the Prime Outlets at San Marcos along the highway corridor illustrates the varied land use, from environmental conservation to major commercial development.
