Jacob Oil Field and a network of county roads define this portion of the Texas brush country, where energy extraction and ranching shape the rural landscape. The southern reaches of the map are dominated by the extensive waters of Yarbrough Lake, while the north is drained by the Atascosa River and its tributaries, including Olmos Creek and Opossum Creek. Local water management is evident through features like Willow Hollow Tank and the Raschke Lake Dam, essential infrastructure for livestock and land use in this arid region. The terrain is further marked by Ursher Hollow and the drainage of Comanche Branch. This 2010 survey illustrates the continued importance of fossil fuel production alongside traditional water-dependent land management in Atascosa County.
