The south Texas rangeland of Zapata County is defined here by a network of drainage channels and man-made water catchments crucial for cattle ranching. Settlements like Chihuahua Farm stand out against a landscape shaped by intermittent water sources, such as Arroyo Miguel and Arroyo del Tigre Grande. The abundance of named tanks, including San Antonio Tank, Zacatoso Tank, and Benevides Tank, reveals the reliance on seasonal runoff to sustain livestock in this arid environment.
