2016 Map of Cuevitas

About this map

The borderlands of Starr and Jim Hogg counties unfold across this 2016 survey, where the sparse ranching landscape of South Texas is defined by seasonal watercourses and long-established property lines. The small settlement of Cuevitas serves as a primary point of reference, situated near the western edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is etched by several notable arroyos, including Los Olmos Cr, Remadura de Charco Largo Cr, and Remadura de Sandia Cr, which carve through the brush country. These drainages, along with man-made water sources like Carreta Tank, illustrate the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. Transportation through the area is facilitated by Ranch Rd 649, which connects scattered homesteads and legacy holdings like the San Roman Rch and residents along Villarreal Rd, reflecting the enduring cattle-ranching heritage of the region.
