2016 Map of Callaghan Ranch North

About this map

Los Huisaches and the settlement of Callaghan occupy this portion of Webb County, characterized by a complex network of private ranch roads and seasonal drainage systems. The landscape is dominated by large-scale ranching operations, evidenced by the presence of the Callaghan Ranch Airport and Lewis Ranch Airport. Water management is central to the area's utility, with named impoundments such as Swisher Lake and Hirsch Estate Lake Number 2 supporting the arid terrain. The topography is defined by the Cerrito Prieto hill and a series of arroyos and creeks, including Jabonciilo Cr and the Palito Blanco Arroyo. Genealogists may find interest in the Cactus Cem, located east of the Interstate 35 corridor, which serves as a primary north-south artery through the region. This 2016 survey documents the modern layout of these historic ranching lands, illustrating how traditional land use persists alongside modern transportation infrastructure.
