1974 Map of Trosado Tank

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Salado Creek and Mustang Creek wind through this arid Maverick County landscape, defined by a sophisticated network of water management features essential for Texas ranching. The map captures an era of livestock production where named tanks like Welta Tank, Gilbo Tank, and Trosado Tank served as critical hubs for cattle. The presence of the Gallina Windmill and various catchments such as Marranos Tank and Pescado Tank illustrate the reliance on groundwater and seasonal runoff in this brush country terrain. Beyond ranching, the region's industrial infrastructure is visible through a prominent pipeline corridor and a small Gravel Pit, showing the intersection of traditional land use with 20th-century resource extraction. This survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns for Chilipitin Creek and Elm Creek before modern developments altered the local watersheds.
