2019 Map of Charco Marrano Creek

About this map

Charco Marrano Cr and the Nueces River anchor this South Texas landscape in La Salle County, defining a region where water availability dictates the layout of the land. The drainage network, including Las Raices Cr, carves through the terrain, illustrating the semi-arid hydrology typical of the brush country. The human imprint is largely defined by ranching infrastructure, as evidenced by a series of arterial routes like Ranch Rd 469 and Ranch Rd 624 that cross the open country. Local history is reflected in family-named landmarks such as Herman Plocek Rd and specific points like Holland Dam Rd, which point to early land use and water management efforts in this sparsely populated cattle country. The proximity of Los Novios Rd further suggests the enduring legacy of private ranch estates and traditional transportation corridors in the Brush Country.
