2013 Map of Las Flores

About this map

Las Flores and the San Jose Ranch anchor this Frio County landscape, illustrating a region defined by cattle ranching and water management. The terrain is marked by an extensive network of windmills, including the Caballo Blanco Windmill, Ruiz Windmill, and Thompson Windmill, which speak to the essential infrastructure required for survival in this part of South Texas. These water-lifting sites are scattered across a watershed carved by seasonal drainages such as Ruiz Cr, Rock Cr, and Esperanza Cr. Managed water storage is further evidenced by named reservoirs like Caldwell Tank and Harry Tank. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of rural routes like FM 1582 and Kothman Rd, connecting these isolated ranching operations across the brush country.
