Nueces River tributaries wind through this ranching landscape in southern Texas, where seasonal water sources and isolated livestock operations define the land use. The presence of Charco Largo Spring and numerous small catchment basins like Hillje Lake Number 2 and Coquat Lake reflect the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. The map shows a region dominated by large-scale land holdings, evidenced by the private aviation access at the Los Cuernos Ranch Airport. Transport across these wide stretches is facilitated by FM-624 and a network of unimproved roads that navigate between drainage systems such as Las Raices Cr and Caiman Cr. This survey illustrates the modern configuration of South Texas rangeland, where traditional grazing practices utilize natural features like La Mata Lake alongside contemporary infrastructure.
