2010 Map of Burns Ranch

About this map

Burns Ranch serves as the primary landmark in this sparsely settled corner of La Salle County, where the brush country of South Texas is defined by its seasonal watercourses. The landscape is a network of drainages including Cibolo Creek, Slaughter Creek, and Lewis Creek, which eventually feed toward the more prominent Frio River in the northeast. This 2010 survey illustrates the remote character of the region, where infrastructure is limited to rugged land holdings and the path of Ranch Rd 469. The map's contour lines and hydrographic data, including Martin Branch, reveal the subtle elevation changes and drainage patterns essential for cattle ranching in an arid environment.
