About this map

Tres Lagunas Pasture defines the northern reaches of this landscape in Hidalgo County, representing the traditional land divisions common in the ranching country of the Rio Grande Valley. The terrain is characterized by a network of intermittent wetlands and scattered depressions, suggesting the seasonal hydrology that dictated the use of these large grazing tracts. To the east and south, Santa Fe Pasture and San Juan Pasture mark significant territory within what was historically part of the Los Indios Ranch region. The sparse distribution of man-made structures and the prominence of named pastures highlight a rural economy still deeply tied to expansive cattle operations and original land grants in South Texas.
