2016 Map of Alamito Creek

About this map

Becerra Cem stands in the northwestern corner of this Webb County terrain, marking a site of local family heritage near the headwaters of Becerra Cr. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, where Salado Cr and Gato Cr wind through the arid brush country before feeding into the prominent Alamito Creek corridor. Ranching infrastructure is central to the area's development, evidenced by several water management features including the Colwell Lake Dam, the uniquely named Abbott and Clapp Lake, and the expansive Nicholson Lake. Connectivity through this remote section of South Texas is maintained by a series of ranch roads, such as Callaghan Rd and Lincoln/Nicholson Rd, which link disparate water sources and livestock holdings across the rolling plains.
