About this map

The Rio Grande forms a prominent natural boundary through this borderland region in Maverick County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water sources and ranching infrastructure. As seen in 2012, the geography is characterized by several managed water features, including the Bueno Aqua Tank and Mansfield Tank, which serve as vital resources in this arid environment. The map details the drainage patterns of Cuervo Cr and Tovar Cr as they flow toward the international border.

Transportation through this sparsely populated area is anchored by Ranch Road 1021, which runs roughly parallel to the river in the northeast. For those interested in local hydrology and land use, the presence of Cage Lake Number 2, Carter Lake Number 1, and Carter Lake Number 2 highlights the historical and ongoing importance of water management for cattle and wildlife in this part of South Texas.
