About this map

The south Texas scrubland and ranching territory of Starr County are defined by a network of rural roads and essential water management features. Ranching infrastructure is prominent, represented by the El Rucio Ranch Rd and the Charco del Rucio Tank, reflecting the region's historical reliance on livestock and local water sources in a semi-arid climate. The landscape also reveals mid-century agricultural planning through the presence of the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir, which highlight federal efforts to manage runoff and support local farming operations. Primary transportation routes like Fm 755 and Fm 490 provide the main connectivity through this sparsely settled area, while private tracks such as Woods Brothers Rd and La Morita Rd reach into the back-country acreage of established family ranches.
