2022 Map of The White Kitchen

About this map

The water-scarce landscape of La Salle County is defined by a complex network of man-made reservoirs and seasonal drainages. Scattered across the brush country, these features underscore the infrastructure required for ranching in South Texas. Major livestock water sources include Salt Well Tank, Red Tank, and the notably named Maguey Tank, while larger impoundments like Walker Lake Number 3 and Walker Lake Number 1 appear in the southwestern corner. Intermittent watercourses such as Yeager Cr, Sauz Cr, and Piedra Cr carve paths through the terrain, though their flow is dictated by rare rain events. Human presence is sparse, centered on managed land divisions and the transit corridor provided by Ranch Rd 469 along the western edge. This survey documents the vital water-management names that anchor the local geography, from Fourteen Section Tank to the several Yeager-family tanks distributed across the northern half.
