2010 Map of Charco Marrano Creek

About this map

Black Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this sparsely populated stretch of La Salle County, where the southern Texas landscape is defined by its intermittent watercourses and ranching infrastructure. The Nueces River winds through the southwestern corner of the area, joined by the drainage of Las Raices Creek. The quadrangle’s namesake, Charco Marrano Creek, flows southward through the center of the sheet, providing a geographic focal point for the surrounding cattle country. Transportation in the region is dictated by a network of ranch-to-market roads, including Ranch Rd 824 and Ranch Rd 469, alongside local routes such as Herman Plocek Rd and Los Novios Rd. This digital-age survey captures the modern rural footprint of South Texas, showing the distribution of stock tanks and property tracks that support the local ranching economy.
