2010 Map of Piedra Parada Ranch

About this map

Piedra Parada Ranch anchors the landscape of this southern Texas cattle-ranching region, where the survival of livestock depends on an intricate system of water management. The terrain is defined by seasonal watercourses like Gato Creek, Salado Creek, and Alamito Creek, which are supplemented by numerous man-made water catchments known locally as tanks. These features, including Scarborough Tank and Plutarco Tank, are scattered across the brushland to support ranching operations. Significant infrastructure such as the Lundell Lake Dam at Lundell Lake and the secondary roads FM 2895 and Ranch RD 2895 facilitate movement through this sparsely populated territory. The presence of Hilltop Ranch and family-named features like Contreras Tank and Beatris Tank reflect the enduring legacy of private land ownership and livestock heritage in Webb County.
