2010 Map of Tovar Creek East

About this map

Tovar Ranch serves as the primary landmark in this southwestern Texas landscape, situated along the drainage of Tovar Creek. This early 21st-century survey illustrates a dry-land ranching environment where water management is critical, evidenced by a series of impoundments including Cage Lake Number 1 Dam, Tovar Ranch Lake Number 1 Dam, and Tovar Ranch Lake Number 3 Dam. The terrain is defined by intermittent watercourses such as San Ambrosia Creek and Borrego Creek, which traverse the brush country typical of Maverick County. Transportation through this remote section of the borderlands is anchored by the historic route of Eagle Pass Rd, which cuts across the western portion of the quadrangle. The map captures the infrastructure of large-scale landholdings, where private roads and earthen dams represent the primary human imprint on the native Texas scrubland.
