2022 Map of Cow Creek Tank

About this map

The international boundary between the United States and Mexico cuts across the southwestern corner of this Kinney County landscape, where the arid brushland is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses. Pinto Creek meanders through the central valley, joined by tributaries like Derramadero Cr and Goat Cr. The rangeland is organized around water management for livestock, evidenced by features such as Cow Cr Tank and Arrow Tank in the eastern sector. Human activity is sparse and concentrated along transportation corridors like Roebucks Ranch Rd and the prominent Highway 277, which provides the primary transit route through the region. The Rio Pinto Ranch Airport stands as a lonely landmark in the northern reaches, serving the private ranching interests that dominate this borderland territory.
