2010 Map of Cayetano Creek

About this map

Farias Ranch Lake Number 2 and a network of livestock or irrigation reservoirs define the drainage patterns of this South Texas landscape. The hydrological systems shown here are heavily managed, evidenced by numerous structures such as the Farias Ranch Lake Number 3 Dam and Farias Lake Number 7 Dam. These dams control the flow of local waterways including Comanche Creek and Cayetano Creek, which meander through a region dominated by ranching infrastructure and rural access roads. The prevalence of named water bodies like Farias Lake Number 5 and Farias Ranch Lake Number 4 suggests a concentrated effort to harness intermittent water sources in a typically arid environment. Further east, Pendencia Creek and Rocky Creek cut through the terrain, illustrating the natural watershed that supports the surrounding land use and ranch operations near the turn of the decade.
