2019 Map of Alamito Creek

About this map

Becerra Cem sits in the northwest corner of this South Texas landscape, providing a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in Webb County. The area is defined by a dendritic network of intermittent watercourses, including Alamito Cr, Salado Cr, and Gato Cr, which drain the brush country. Infrastructure is sparse and largely focused on water management and ranch access, as seen with the Colwell Lake Dam and the presence of Nicholson Lake. This 2019 survey documents a rural environment where private ranch roads like Lincoln/Nicholson Rd and Gallaghan Rd provide the only major transit through the scrubland. The mapping reflects a modern landscape still governed by the same drainage patterns and cattle-ranching layout established generations earlier.
