Eagle Pass is the only incorporated place in Maverick County; every other entry on the list below is an unincorporated community, census-designated place (CDP), or colonia — a small residential subdivision typical of the Texas border region, often lacking municipal water or sewer service when first platted. The table keeps every genuine settlement carried over from the county’s older listings; several near-duplicate colonia-numbering entries (e.g. separate “Number 1\/2\/3” phases of the same subdivision) are grouped under one row where the source list treated them as one place.<\/p>\n

The terrain is flat to gently rolling, dominated by mesquite and prickly pear rangeland once given over to sheep and cattle ranching. Elm Creek and the Rio Escondido drain the county’s interior toward the Rio Grande.<\/p>\n Maverick County borders Kinney County<\/a> to the north, Zavala County<\/a> and Dimmit County<\/a> to the east, and Webb County<\/a> to the south. Its entire western boundary is the international border with Mexico, opposite the Coahuila municipalities of Guerrero, Piedras Negras and Jiménez.<\/p>\n The 2020 census counted 57,887 residents, overwhelmingly concentrated in and around Eagle Pass and the Eidson Road CDP just north of it — together well over half the county’s population. Maverick County’s median household income sits far below the Texas median of $75,780, reflecting a border economy built on retail, government and cross-border trade rather than higher-wage industry. Density works out to roughly 45 people per square mile, a figure driven almost entirely by the Eagle Pass urban cluster; most of the county’s rural expanse is sparsely populated ranchland.<\/p>\n Eagle Pass anchors the county’s economy as a legal port of entry into Mexico, with the Camino Real and Eagle Pass\u2013Piedras Negras international bridges carrying steady freight and pedestrian crossings. Government employment (U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the school district, city and county government) and retail trade tied to cross-border shoppers are the largest employers. Ranching persists on the county’s rural land, and oil and gas activity tied to the Eagle Ford Shale trend has added jobs in the surrounding region since the 2010s.<\/p>\n Maverick County was created from Kinney County in 1856 and organized in 1871. It is named for Samuel Maverick, a Texas cattleman, lawyer and legislator whose habit of leaving his cattle unbranded gave the English language the word “maverick” for an unmarked animal — and later, by extension, for an independent-minded person. The Spanish colonial El Camino Real crossed the area from the 1690s onward, and Eagle Pass grew around a U.S. Army post, Fort Duncan, established in 1849 to guard the river crossing.<\/p>\n U.S. Routes 57 and 277 and State Highway 131 are the county’s principal roads, converging on Eagle Pass and its international bridges.<\/p>\n Maverick County Memorial International Airport serves general aviation; the nearest commercial airline service is San Antonio International Airport.<\/p>\n Where is Maverick County, Texas?<\/strong> What is the population of Maverick County?<\/strong> How big is Maverick County?<\/strong> What is the county seat of Maverick County?<\/strong> How many towns are in Maverick County?<\/strong> |
