2016 Map of Hartland

About this map

Ranching lands and vast pastures define this South Texas landscape along the border of Brooks and Hidalgo Counties. The map reveals a pastoral economy organized into large named tracts, such as Fant Pasture, Marrana Pasture, and Tres Lagunas Pasture. Transportation is centered on the highway 281 corridor in the east and a network of county roads including Co RD 310 and Co RD 311 to the west. Water is a critical and sparse feature, represented by the ephemeral Vargas Cr and the localized Tasajal Lake. The small settlement of Hartland and the El Coyote Ranch Airport serve as the primary human landmarks in a region largely dedicated to open range and livestock management, with specialized areas like Huisaches Trap indicating specific agricultural uses.
