About this map

King Ranch property dominates the center of this South Texas coastal plain landscape, where the ephemeral waterways of the Wild Horse Desert shape the land. The drainage patterns of Santa Gertrudis Cr, Escondido Cr, and Jaboncillos Cr weave across a largely open territory, punctuated by isolated water features like Zaino Lake and the marshy expanse of Charco Largo.

In the northeast, the outskirts of Kingsville transition into a grid of county roads that service the small settlement of Ricardo and the surrounding ranchlands. The map details a sophisticated network of rural infrastructure, including Escondido Lake Reservoir Number 7 and a dense system of secondary routes like N FM 772 and W Co RD 2160. This survey offers a precise look at modern land use and water management in Kleberg County, where large-scale ranching and small-town development meet.
