About this map

Dolph Briscoe Lake Number 8 and a network of ephemeral waterways define this stretch of Dimmit County, where South Texas brush country meets an organized agricultural and ranching grid. The landscape is carved by numerous drainages, most notably Carrizo Cr and El Morito Cr, which wind through the low-lying terrain. The human presence is marked by a series of ranch roads and farm-to-market routes that service large landholdings. Local history is etched into the names of these thoroughfares, such as Barrier Farms Rd, Navarro Rd, and Risinger Rd, suggesting long-standing family associations with the land. Significant water management is evident in the northern reaches where Peñitas Cr and Peña Cr cross beneath FM 2644, illustrating the intersection of modern transit and the region's natural hydrology.
