2012 Map of Zapata NW

About this map

Falcon Reservoir dominates the eastern edge of this South Texas landscape, defined by the intricate shoreline of the Rio Grande's impounded waters. Along these banks, the Old Raotireno Cem remains a significant cultural landmark for those tracing local family lineages in Zapata County. The map details a strictly regulated waterway, marked by a precise series of navigational aids ranging from Buoy Number 33 in the north to Buoy Number 18 further south. Away from the water, the terrain is characterized by a network of seasonal drainages and arroyos that feed into the reservoir, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the brush country in the early twenty-first century.
