2010 Map of Trosado Tank

About this map

The arid ranching country of Maverick County is defined by its vital water management systems in this 2010 survey. A series of artificial catchments and dams, including Saner Lake Number 1, Saner Lake Number 2, and Saner Lake Number 3, are distributed across the landscape to support livestock. These features, along with names like Trosado Tank and Pescado Tank, illustrate the critical importance of surface water storage in the brushlands of South Texas. The drainage patterns of Salado Creek and Chilipitin Creek carve through the terrain, while the solitary Gallina Windmill stands as a landmark of human infrastructure in an otherwise open expanse. This era of the region is linked by FM 481, which provides the primary transit corridor through the territory, connecting isolated water sources like Roswell Lake to the broader county network.
