About this map

The Ranchitos las Lomas Colonia area of Webb County shows a distinct pattern of residential colonization along the northern edge of this South Texas landscape. This 2010 survey documents a cluster of semi-rural settlements including Ranchitos los Mesquites Colonia, Ranchitos los Nopalitos Colonia, and Ranchitos los Arcos Colonia, illustrating the growth of these specific communities near the border.

Away from the developed colonia tracts, the terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and livestock infrastructure. Water management is central to the land's utility, marked by numerous named catchments such as Burrito Tank, Jave Tank, and Llorona Tank. These water sources are fed by seasonal drainages like Piedra Parada Creek and San Juanito Creek, which cut through the ranching country surrounding Yugo Ranch.
