2022 Map of Alamito Creek

About this map

The Becerra Cem sits in the northwest corner of this South Texas landscape, providing a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this rural part of Webb County. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of intermittent waterways, where Salado Cr and Alamito Cr cut through the arid brush country. Water management is evident through features like the Colwell Lake Dam and Nicholson Lake, which serve as vital resources in this ranching environment. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of rural routes, including Gallaghan Rd and Lincoln/Nicholson Rd, which connect the disparate points of the cattle country. The map captures the quiet, expansive nature of the borderlands, where geographic nomenclature like Gato Cr and Becerra Cr reflects the deep cultural history of the region.
