2019 Map of Sarnosa Hill

About this map

Magnolia Road Colonia and the outskirts of Freer anchor the northeast corner of this South Texas landscape, where the ranching heritage of Duval County is evident in the sprawling land divisions. The terrain is defined by prominent rises like Sarnosa Hill and Cedro Hill, which overlook a network of ephemeral drainage systems including Colmena Cr, Soledad Cr, and the northern and southern forks of Animas Cr. A notable aviation landmark, the Duval County Ranch Company Airport, sits central to the upper half of the quadrangle, reflecting the importance of private air travel in managing large-scale ranching operations. The presence of Colmena Tank highlights the critical role of water management in this arid environment, providing a focal point for livestock and local ecology.
