2016 Map of Tovar Creek West

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the prominent western boundary on this 2016 survey, demarcating the international border between United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Within Maverick County, the landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Tovar Creek and Cuervo Cr, which flow through an arid terrain toward the river. This specific area of South Texas highlights the water-management infrastructure of the ranching economy, visible through named reservoirs such as Carter Lake Number 1, Carter Lake Number 2, and Cage Lake Number 2. Access to these isolated tracts is provided by FM 1021, which cuts across the northeastern corner of the map. The topographic detail reveals a network of canyons and arroyos typical of the Tamaulipan mezquital, offering a precise look at the land's contours and the scattered watering holes essential for local cattle operations.
