1956 Map of Las Tiendas

About this map

Family-named ranching properties define the landscape of Webb County in this survey, where the brush country of South Texas meets a complex system of seasonal waterholes and creeks. The namesake Las Tiendas Ranch sits at a strategic junction of ranch roads, surrounded by extensive grazing lands like Hamilton Pasture and Stumpy Pasture. The geography is shaped by the drainage patterns of Cochio Creek and Jefferies Creek, where numerous tanks and waterholes, such as Prairie Tank and Youcan Tank, were vital for cattle operations. To the south, the topography shifts toward the Cerrito Blanco Hills, while the northern portion is dominated by large holdings including Hearne Ranch and Granado Ranch. This map preserves the mid-century layout of the South Texas rangeland, documenting established homesteads like Jefferies Ranch and Trevino Ranch alongside early infrastructure such as Twin Windmills.
