2016 Map of Cage Ranch

About this map

Cage Ranch and its private airfield, the Cage Ranch Airport, anchor this Brooks County landscape south of the South Texas brush country. The map documents a sprawling ranching infrastructure characterized by expansive grazing lands, including the notably named Los Muertos Pasture and Barroso Pasture. Water resources in this arid environment are concentrated along the ephemeral path of Calosa Cr and the seasonal basin of Cayetano Lake. The geography is defined by a sparse network of ranch roads and tracks that connect these working lands to the major north-south transit corridor of Route 281, reflecting the region's enduring reliance on large-scale cattle operations and private aviation in the early twenty-first century.
