About this map

Carrizo Cr and its various tributaries define the hydrology of this South Texas landscape northwest of Asherton during the late 2010s. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage ways including Peñitas Cr, El Morito Cr, and San Lorenzo Cr, which flow through the arid brush country of Dimmit County.

Agricultural and ranching activity is evidenced by the specialized road network that traverses the plains. Named routes such as Barrier Farms Rd, Merz Rd, and Navarro Rd connect isolated homesteads and ranch operations to primary arteries like FM 186. These farm-to-market roads serve as the modern framework for an area traditionally shaped by water access and large-scale landholdings, providing a clear look at contemporary land use and property boundaries in this rural section of the Rio Grande Plain.
