About this map

The south Texas rangeland of Live Oak County is defined here by a network of seasonal water sources and ranch infrastructure. Tributaries of the Nueces River basin, including Ramirena Cr and the Salt Br Ramirena Cr, carve through the landscape, accompanied by smaller drainage features like Leopard Br and Spring Cr. The naming conventions of the numerous livestock tanks, such as Agarita Tank, Javelina Tank, and Alamo Tank, reflect the local flora and fauna of the brush country.

Modern ranching operations are anchored by the Rossler Ranch Airport in the southeastern quadrant, illustrating the logistical scale of modern Texas land management. The terrain is notably marked by Long Hollow and the central passage of Elm Creek. Transit through this portion of the county is facilitated by a grid of county roads, including Co RD 157 and Co RD 167, alongside the primary corridor of Highway 59.
