About this map

Cerritos Blancos sits within a landscape defined by an intricate network of ranching infrastructure and intermittent watercourses in Webb County. The area’s reliance on water management is evident through numerous named stock ponds, including Huisache Tank, Santo Tomas Tank, and Palo Blanco Tank, which support the vast ranching operations of South Texas. These water features are fed by seasonal drainages such as Santa Isabel Cr and the Palito Blanco Arroyo.

Transport through this territory is facilitated by a grid of numbered ranch roads and named routes like La Mesa Ranch Rd and the Columbia Toll Rd. The survey also illustrates the convergence of drainages at the southern edge, where Tejones Cr flows through the brushland. This map provides a detailed view of modern land use in a region where the names of small tanks and private ranch tracks are the primary identifiers of the landscape.
