2010 Map of Sugar Creek

About this map

Big Manning Ranch sits at the heart of this brush country landscape in Zavala County, where the network of ephemeral waterways and cattle tanks defines the local geography. The drainage patterns of Arroyo Negro, Loma Vista Creek, and Burtrand Creek converge toward the larger Sugar Creek, illustrating the vital importance of water management in this semi-arid region. Ranching infrastructure is prominent, with several named water sources such as Garys Tank, John Davis Tank, and Gate Tank serving as essential landmarks for land navigation and local history. Transportation is anchored by the north-south corridor of Ranch Rd 1867, which links these disparate ranching outposts across the sparsely populated terrain.
