2012 Map of Cayetano Creek

About this map

Farias family ranching interests define the landscape of this corner of Maverick County, marked by a series of numbered reservoirs and catchment basins. The drainage network is anchored by Pendencia Cr and Cayetano Cr, which wind through the arid terrain alongside smaller tributaries like Comanche Cr and Rocky Cr. These water sources were vital for sustaining livestock and agricultural operations in a region where surface water is seasonal and scarce. The map reveals a sparse infrastructure typical of South Texas rangeland, where private access roads and the singular Co RD 173 provide the only passage through large landholdings. Notable water features include Farias Ranch Lake Number 2, Farias Ranch Lake Number 3, and Farias Lake, reflecting a systematic approach to water management on the expansive ranch estates during the early 21st century.
