2010 Map of Blancas Creek South

About this map

Dolores Creek and Blancas Creek define the arid drainage patterns of this South Texas landscape in Webb County. The presence of irrigation and water management structures like the Hubbard Lake Number 2 Dam and the Carlos Vela Lake Dam indicates the vital importance of water storage for ranching and agriculture in this semi-arid region. Most transportation is facilitated by the prominent Mangana-Hein Rd, which threads across the terrain, connecting various rural access points. The map also captures the path of El Jaral Creek, showing a network of ephemeral waterways that characterize the brush country environment during the early 21st century.
