2022 Map of Julian

About this map

Candelaria Hill and Candelaria Lake anchor the northeastern portion of this sparsely populated ranching landscape in South Texas. The terrain is defined by the intersection of three counties, where the boundaries of Brooks, Kenedy, and Hidalgo meet. This 2022 survey illustrates the remote character of the region, where infrastructure is limited to isolated ranch roads like Tobin Armstrong Rd and S Tullidos Rd. The map reveals a high concentration of small, seasonal depressions and wetlands scattered across the sandy soils, typical of the coastal sand plain. This hydrography suggests a landscape where water management and natural catchments remain central to the use of the land, even as modern roads provide the primary access points for local agriculture and land management.
