2016 Map of Farias Tank

About this map

The Briscoes Catarina Ranch Airport serves as a modern anchor in this expanse of South Texas ranch land, which is defined by a sophisticated system of water management. Numerous named reservoirs, including Dolph Briscoe Lake Number 1, Dolph Briscoe Lake Number 2, and Dolph Briscoe Lake Number 3, are scattered across the landscape, capturing the flow of seasonal drainages such as San Roque Cr and Catarina Cr. This network of tanks and man-made lakes, including the central Farias Tank and Catarina Lake, highlights the necessity of water storage for large-scale ranching operations in Dimmit County. Transportation through this rural area is facilitated by Ranch Rd 2688, which cuts through the territory, linking the varied water features and drainage systems like El Moro Cr and Bonito Cr.
