2016 Map of Las Escobas Ranch

About this map

Las Escobas Ranch serves as the namesake landmark for this stretch of Starr County, where the brush country of South Texas meets the Zapata County line. The landscape is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages, most notably Las Escobas Cr, Del Puerto Cr, and El Chapote Cr, which carve through the undulating terrain. This 2016 survey documents a rural environment where land use revolves around sprawling ranching estates connected by a web of named dirt and secondary routes like Loma Blanca Rd and San Roman Rd. Local genealogy is anchored by several distinct burial sites, including Buena Vista Cem, Uña de Gato Cem, and Agua Dulce Cem, each situated near historic ranching hubs or along the intermittent waterways that have dictated the region's settlement patterns for generations.
