2010 Map of Live Oak Creek

About this map

F B Ashe serves as a lone point of settlement in this arid section of Webb County, where a sparse network of ranch roads and ephemeral watercourses defines the landscape. The geography is dominated by a complex drainage system including Live Oak Creek, Los Olmos Creek, and Dolores Creek, which flow through the chaparral toward the Rio Grande basin. In the northern reaches, Salines Lake and the associated Salines Lake Dam represent a significant human intervention in this dry environment, providing a localized water source where Chucareto Creek and Tecolote Creek meander across the plains. The path of Coquate Rd provides the primary transit artery through the region, connecting remote ranching interests in a landscape that remained largely open and undeveloped into the early 21st century.
