Albercas Ranch and the nearby San Jose Ranch anchor this landscape of the South Texas brush country in Webb County. The area’s reliance on groundwater and seasonal drainage is evidenced by the namesake Albercas de San Felipe Spring and several drainages, including Agua Azul Cr and Albercas Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the convergence of traditional ranching operations with the modern energy economy, specifically through the infrastructure of the Quien Sabe Oil Field and the Glen Oil Field. Transportation across this sparse terrain is limited to major ranch corridors like Ranch Road 649 and Casa Blanca Ranch Rd, which connect these sprawling properties and industrial sites to the wider region.
