2012 Map of Farias Ranch

About this map

Farias Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this ranchland region of Maverick County, situated within a network of water features and private airstrips. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral flow of San Ambrosia Cr and Cuevas Cr, which provide vital drainage across the arid South Texas terrain. Man-made catchments like Halsell Lake Number 3 and Winship Lake Number 3 illustrate the necessary infrastructure for sustaining livestock and wildlife in this environment. The presence of the Comanche Ranch Airport suggests the scale and relative isolation of these large landholdings, where aviation serves as a practical tool for regional connectivity and property management. This 2012 survey documents the persistent ranching economy and the specific water management patterns essential to the Texas-Mexico borderlands.
