About this map

The Nueces River winds through this arid section of Webb County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water sources and ranching infrastructure. Tributaries like Sauz Creek, San Casimiro Creek, and Black Creek drain toward the river basin, though their flow is seasonal. The ranching heritage of the South Texas brush country is evident in the managed water systems of the Dobie Ranch Tank Number 1, Dobie Ranch Tank Number 2, and Dobie Ranch Tank Number 3, each supported by its own dam. These tanks are critical landmarks in a region where reliable water is scarce. Human presence is light and largely utilitarian, centered on the corridor of Withers Rd, which provides the primary access through these large livestock holdings at the start of the 21st century.
