2016 Map of Briscoe Ranch

About this map

Briscoe Ranch serves as the focal point of this arid landscape along the border of La Salle and McMullen Counties. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of water management features, including named tanks and creek branches that support the region's ranching economy. Significant water catchments like Big Alamo Tank, Little Alamo Tank, and the evocative Tanque Noche Triste Tank are scattered across the brushland, connected by intermittent flows such as Green Br and Elm Cr. The map reveals the industrial footprint of the modern era with the Oil Wells Tank, while local landmarks like Lesterjet Tank and Brown Lake provide specific points of reference for land use. Access is maintained through rural routes including Cameron Ln and Martin Rd, which navigate the subtle topography of the South Texas plains.
