2019 Map of Cayetano Creek

About this map

The Maverick County and Dimmit County line defines the western edge of this landscape, marking a remote ranching corridor in South Texas. Water management is the central theme of the terrain, visible through a series of numbered reservoirs including Farias Ranch Lake Number 2, Farias Ranch Lake Number 3, and Farias Lake. These water bodies are fed by a network of intermittent drainages like Cayetano Creek and Pendencia Creek, which are critical to the livestock operations in this arid region. The map reveals the infrastructure of large-scale landholdings, where fence lines and ranch roads navigate the draws and low ridges. To the east, Rocky Creek and Comanche Creek underscore the sparse but essential natural hydrology that has dictated land use and property boundaries for generations of Texas ranchers.
