2019 Map of Baluarte Ranch

About this map

Baluarte Ranch is the primary landmark of this South Texas landscape, situated in a region characterized by sparse settlement and wide ranchlands. This late-2010s survey captures the drainage patterns of Palo Blanco Cr and Arroyo los Palos, which define the low-lying topography of the area. The map illustrates a network of rural access routes, including Imperial Rd and Huff Ln, alongside the more prominent Baluarte Ranch Rd and FM 1017. The boundary between Jim Hogg and Brooks counties is clearly delineated, marking a significant jurisdictional divide in this ranching country. The presence of ephemeral watercourses and local ranch roads underscores the enduring cattle-rearing economy that has shaped this portion of the brush country for generations.
