About this map

Franklin Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this ranching landscape of McMullen County, where water management is defined by numerous man-made lakes and cattle tanks. The drainage network is anchored by Pertle Cr and several prongs of Leoncita Cr, including the W Prong Leoncita Cr and N Prong Leoncita Cr. The land is marked by generational family holdings, as evidenced by named water bodies such as Kuykendall Lake, L L Graham Lake, and Hughey Lake.

A network of local roads and ranch tracks, including Hobson Rd, Kuykendall Rd, and the descriptively named High Lonesome, provides access to the interior. These routes connect the various lake clusters, such as the Beckman Lake Number 1 and Beckman Lake Number 2 group. The prevalence of these reservoirs and the Prairie Cr Tank highlights the necessity of reliable water storage in this South Texas brush country environment.
