About this map

Intermittent watercourses and numerous cattle tanks characterize this section of Webb County, defining a landscape shaped by ranching in the brush country of South Texas. The hydrology is dominated by ephemeral drainages such as Chacon Cr, Mule Cr, and San Ygnacio Cr, which feed into an extensive system of man-made reservoirs. These tanks, including Kuykendall Tank, Sandia Tank, and Callaghan Tank, serve as vital landmarks and water sources for local operations.

Remote ranch roads like San Ignacio RD and Ranch RD 71321 provide the primary access through this territory, connecting various stock tanks and named springs like El Pato Spring. The presence of features named for local families or figures, such as De Cavasos Tank and Poole Tank, highlights the long-standing private landholding traditions in the region. This 2022 survey illustrates how modern ranching infrastructure remains deeply tied to the natural contours and seasonal water cycles of the Texas Rio Grande plain.
