2010 Map of Las Ovejas Creek

About this map

Las Ovejas Ranch and the network of waterways that define the brush country of Zapata County are the central focus of this South Texas survey. The landscape is characterized by intermittent drainages including Las Ovejas Creek, Mulato Creek, and El Jara Creek, which support the regional ranching economy. Water management is a primary feature of the terrain, as evidenced by the L E Bruni Lake Number 3 Dam and Tasa Tank. The road network consists of state-maintained routes like FM 3169 and named local thoroughfares such as Louis Munoz Rd and Ovejas Rd, which provide access to family-held lands and newer developments like Garza Ests. This map illustrates the intersection of traditional Texas ranching heritage with modern land subdivision and infrastructure in the early twenty-first century.
