1982 Map of Farias Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Farias Ranch stands as a primary landmark in this ranching region of Maverick County, which was surveyed in the mid-1970s and published as a provisional edition. The landscape is defined by the intermittent flow of desert waterways, including the winding Comanche Creek and the branching drainage of San Ambrosia Creek. These creek beds and their surrounding topography reveal the practical infrastructure of South Texas land management, exemplified by the precisely surveyed Spillway 711. The map documents a sparsely populated but active pastoral environment where water access and land elevation dictate the placement of ranch headquarters. The presence of Cuevas Creek further illustrates the complex drainage patterns that shape this corner of the state, providing a look at the rural Texas borderlands before later-century development changed local ranching traditions.
