1978 Map of Tequesquite Spring

About this map

Tequesquite Spring marks the headwaters of a vital drainage system in the dry borderlands of South Texas during the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by the Kinney Co Maverick Co line, which follows an Indefinite Boundary across the brush-covered terrain. Water remains the primary shaper of this environment, with the winding paths of Tequesquite Creek, Las Moras Creek, and Salado Creek cutting through the limestone. The area shows evidence of light industrial and ranching activity, including a Gravel Pit, various Tanks, and a single Drill Hole. Steep-walled features like Cañon Grande and several unnamed Cañons reflect the erosive power of seasonal rains in this arid region, while a long-distance Pipeline suggests the area's role in the regional energy infrastructure.
