About this map

Twin Mott Lake and the smaller Zapata Lake define this coastal prairie landscape on the boundary of Refugio and Aransas counties. This 2019 survey captures a complex network of seasonal drainage and intermittent wetlands characteristic of the Texas Gulf Coast, where shallow basins like Thomas Lake are linked by wandering watercourses including Copano Cr, Salt Cr, and Cavasso Cr. These creeks slowly navigate the flat terrain, creating a saturated environment that has historically influenced local land use and infrastructure placement.

Transportation through this low-lying region is primarily served by the east-west corridor of Fm 774, while more localized access is provided by roads like 3 Mi Windsor Rd. The map illustrates the rural character of the area near Windsor, showing how human activity has adapted to the natural hydrology of the bend. This document is particularly useful for researchers studying the evolving environmental patterns and property boundaries near the northern reaches of the Aransas Bay system.
