About this map

Ephemeral drainages and ranch infrastructure characterize this portion of Webb County, where seasonal water sources like Caliche Cr and Torres Cr cut through the terrain. The landscape is dotted with numerous earthen tanks, essential for livestock and wildlife in this semi-arid region, including Pina Tank, De La Garza Tank, and Brahmas Tank. These features reflect a legacy of land management tied to large Texas cattle operations.

Transportation is defined by a sparse network of rural routes, with Welhousen Rd and Carolina Rd providing primary access to the interior. Named water tanks such as Tres Picos Tank and Jillo Tank serve as critical landmarks in an otherwise subtle landscape. The drainage patterns of Santonino Cr and Reiser Cr illustrate the watershed's movement toward larger regional basins, offering a clear view of the ranching economy's reliance on these localized hydrographic features.
