2010 Map of Albercas Ranch

About this map

The dry ranchlands of Webb County are defined here by a network of private roads and petroleum developments at the start of the 21st century. Named ranching headquarters like San Jose Ranch and the namesake Albercas Ranch serve as central points in a landscape sparse of permanent settlements. The map illustrates the local energy economy, showing the extent of the Quien Sabe Oil Field and the Glen Oil Field, which are integrated into the arid terrain alongside seasonal watercourses such as Albercas Creek and the Arroyo Grande. Transportation through this corner of South Texas relies on routes like FM 649 and Casa Blanca Ranch Rd, which connect the scattered ranch properties and industrial sites to the broader region.
