About this map

Agua Azul Creek meanders through this section of Webb County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent watercourses and ranching infrastructure. This 2010 survey illustrates the significance of water management in the South Texas brush country, where numerous small reservoirs are controlled by structures such as the Vaquillas Ranch Lake Number 4 Dam and the Gene Walker Lake Dam. The terrain is characterized by a sparse network of roads connecting these water features, reflecting the rural and agricultural nature of the region.

Local landownership and historical land use are evidenced by family-named features like the Fred M Bruni Lake Number 1 Dam. Other drainage systems, including Albercas Creek, Barrecito Creek, and Chargos Creek, provide a detailed look at the natural hydrology that sustains this arid environment. The map captures a specific moment in the early 21st century before modern developments significantly altered these long-standing ranching boundaries.
