About this map

The South Texas ranching landscape in Brooks County is defined by its expansive pastures and intermittent watercourses. The settlement of Flowella sits near the crossing of Los Olmos Cr and several county roads, while the local aviation needs are served by the Brooks County Airport to the west. This territory is marked by legacy grazing lands such as Cuchilla Pasture, Loma Blanca Pasture, and Pita Pasture, which suggest a long history of cattle operations in the brush country.

Genealogical interest is rooted in small family burial grounds distributed across the terrain, including the Pedro Jaramillo Cem, Pedro Garza Zamora Cem, and Perez Cem. Hydrological features like Laguna Salada and Palo Blanco Creek provide vital water sources in this semi-arid region, while the prominent Gyp Hill rises above the surrounding flats, offering a distinct geological landmark in an area otherwise dominated by creek beds and ranch roads.
