About this map

Water management dominates this arid Webb County landscape, where an intricate network of tanks and arroyos supports ranching operations. Drainage patterns are defined by the winding course of Tejones Cr and the Palito Blanco Arroyo, while man-made water sources like Nido Tank and San Juan Tank provide essential infrastructure for the region. The map reveals the logistical layout of South Texas ranchlands, anchored by names like Venados Tank and Guajillo Tank that reflect local flora and fauna.

Transportation through this territory is limited to a few arterial routes, most notably the Columbia Toll Rd and various ranch access ways such as Jefferies Rd. These roads connect isolated watering points and ranch outposts across the brush country. The presence of features like Calabazas Pond and Middle Pond alongside seasonal drainages like Tordillo Cr illustrates the vital importance of capturing every drop of rainfall in this environment.
