2019 Map of Cow Creek Tank

About this map

The Rio Grande forms a prominent international boundary in this borderlands region of Kinney County, dividing the United States from Mexico. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages and seasonal water features, including Pinto Creek, Isleta Cr, and Goat Cr, which flow toward the river through an arid landscape. Local land use is characterized by large-scale ranching and aviation infrastructure, notably the Rio Pinto Ranch Airport in the northern section. Historical ranching footprints are evident in the naming of rural routes such as Bill Moody Ranch Rd and Roebucks Ranch Rd. Water management for livestock is a visible priority across the quadrangle, marked by scattered catchment features like Cow Cr Tank and Arrow Tank situated along the winding course of Cow Cr.
