2016 Map of Anacacho

About this map

Anacacho and its surrounding ranchlands characterize this portion of Kinney County, where the desert landscape is defined by a sophisticated network of water management features. Numerous livestock tanks, such as Medina Tank, Double Header Tank, and Hobbs Tank, are scattered across the terrain to support regional agriculture in an arid environment. The most prominent landform is the rising mass of the Anacacho Mountains, which includes notable summits like Indian Head Peak. This area's hydrology is dominated by ephemeral drainages including Elm Cr and its tributaries, which feed into larger features like Anacacho Lake. The presence of the Anacacho Ranch Airport and the corridor of F-M-1572 provide the primary infrastructure connecting these remote ranching operations to the wider region. In the south, the terrain breaks into more complex formations at Beef Canyon near the headwaters of Stricklin Cr.
