Isolated homesteads and rural landholdings define this 2013 portrait of south Texas ranch land. Scattered residential sites including Mrs Brown, J Rector, and James Carr mark a landscape primarily organized around cattle grazing and seasonal watercourses. The drainage network is dominated by the wandering paths of Pelon Ciz Cr in the north and Las Raices Cr further south, while Tecolate Cr cuts across the southeastern corner. These ephemeral creeks are central to the geography of the brush country, dictating the placement of ranch infrastructure and local thoroughfares like Raices Rd. The map offers a clear view of land distribution and the enduring presence of specific family holdings, such as those of H Garcia and R J Wellhausen, in a region where settlement remains sparse and tied closely to the natural terrain.
