About this map

The Anacacho Mountains dominate the southeastern landscape of this Kinney County region, rising abruptly from the surrounding ranchlands. This arid terrain is defined by a complex network of intermittent drainages and water management features essential for livestock and land use. Water sources like Medina Tank, Double Header Tank, and Coyote Tank are scattered across the plains, supporting the ranching operations that characterize the area.

Evidence of aviation and transportation infrastructure is centered around the Anacacho Ranch Airport and the farm-to-market road F-M-1572. Significant natural landmarks include the prominent Indian Head Peak and the seasonal Anacacho Lake. The drainage systems, including Elm Cr, Arenosa Cr, and Stricklin Cr, carve through the landscape towards Beef Canyon, illustrating the importance of natural topography in directing the limited water flow of the Southwest.
