2016 Map of Burns Ranch

About this map

Burns Ranch serves as the primary landmark in this ranchland region of La Salle County, situated within a complex network of intermittent waterways. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Cibolo Cr and Slaughter Cr, which snake across the terrain toward the Frio River in the northeast corner. This map captures the area during a period of modern ranching operations, where infrastructure is limited to essential connectors like Ranch Rd 469 and Vegara Rd. The density of named branches, including Martin Br and Lewis Cr, highlights the importance of seasonal water management in the South Texas brush country. This survey is particularly useful for understanding the vast spatial distribution of land holdings and the local hydrology that dictates the placement of roads and remote ranch complexes.
