About this map

Lake Corpus Christi dominates the eastern edge of this coastal bend landscape, where the waters meet a complex shoreline of inlets and points including Pernitas Point and Mesquite Island. The map documents a transition from the structured residential blocks of Lake City and Sandia to the more dispersed agricultural lands and ranches of the interior. Traces of regional history are evident in the presence of the Old Casa Blanca Fort and the nearby Casa Blanca settlement, alongside the Wade Cem and the Wade Ranch.

Drainage systems like Lagarto Cr, Charquitas Cr, and Barbone Cr carve through the terrain, leading toward the reservoir. Local aviation is represented by Arrowhead Airport near the Zephyr Encampment. The road network, including FM-3162 and FM-534, connects established locales like Lagarto with newer developments such as Carmel Hills, illustrating the ongoing human adaptation to this riparian environment.
