About this map

Los Huisaches and the ranching settlement of Callaghan anchor this part of Webb County, characterized by a complex network of private ranch roads and intermittent watercourses. The landscape is defined by drainage basins including Jaboncillo Creek, Dolores Creek, and the Palito Blanco Arroyo, which carve through the brush country toward the southeast. Notable topographic variations occur around Cerrito Prieto, providing rare elevation in the otherwise steady incline of the South Texas Plains.

Water management is evident through features like Hirsch Estate Lake Number 2 and Swisher Lake, essential for livestock in this arid environment. The map provides specific locations for local landmarks such as Cactus Cemetery and the Lewis Ranch Airport, which serves the isolated ranching operations of the region. The concentration of labeled roads, from Gonzalez Road to Cerrito Prieto Road, illustrates the infrastructure necessary for managing these expansive Texas landholdings.
