2019 Map of Sarita SW

About this map

The boundary between Brooks Co and Kenedy Co bisects this remote stretch of the South Texas brush country. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by ephemeral wetlands and shifting sand sheets, where human infrastructure is sparse and dictated by the necessities of ranching and large-scale land management. Modern connectivity is represented by Turcotte W, a local roadway providing access through the sandy terrain. The map's contour lines illustrate the subtle topographic variations of the region, where slight depressions often collect seasonal water, creating a distinct environmental pattern that has shaped land use in this part of the state for generations. This data reflects the modern geography of these two counties prior to further development or changes in local water management.
