About this map

Las Tiendas sits at a remote junction in the brush country of Webb County, where ranch roads provide the primary access to a landscape defined by seasonal water management. The topography is marked by distinct rises such as Loma Caliche and Loma Blanca, while the drainage system of Santa Isabel Cr and Cochio Cr dictates the placement of numerous livestock tanks.

Surface water is a critical feature of this ranching environment, represented by named catchments like Jefferies Tank, Tapon Tank, and La Mula Tank. The presence of larger bodies such as Spohn Ranch Lake and Chupahueso Lake Number 2 suggests more permanent water sources or larger-scale agricultural engineering. A network of private and ranch routes, including Sphohn Ranch Rd and Galvan Rd, connects these scattered water features across the South Texas plains.
