2010 Map of Farias Tank
USGS Topo · Published 2010About this map
Briscoe Ranch and the surrounding ranching landscape of Dimmit County define this 2010 survey, showcasing a region shaped by water management and large-scale landholdings. The map illustrates a series of man-made reservoirs controlled by the Dolph Briscoe Lake Number 1 Dam, Dolph Briscoe Lake Number 2 Dam, and Dolph Briscoe Lake Number 3 Dam, critical infrastructure for livestock and agriculture in the semi-arid South Texas brush country. This network of tanks and dams intercepts natural drainages like El Moro Creek and Catarina Creek. Near the small settlement of Gilson Groves, the remote nature of the terrain is emphasized by the presence of the Briscoes Catarina Ranch Airport and the lonely stretch of Ranch Rd 2688 cutting through the southern portion of the quadrangle.
