2022 Map of Piedra Parada Ranch

About this map

The Piedra Parada Ranch landscape in Webb County is defined by its extensive network of seasonal drainages and stock tanks, reflecting the ranching heritage of South Texas. Intermittent watercourses like Salado Cr, Gato Cr, and Caliche Cr carve through the terrain, directed toward larger catchments such as Lundell Lake. The distribution of named water features, including Scarborough Tank, Webb Tank, and Plutarco Tank, illustrates the critical infrastructure required to sustain livestock in this arid environment. Transportation through this remote section of the county is anchored by Lincoln Nicholson Rd and Ranch Rd 2895, which provide the primary access to these sprawling private holdings. The nomenclature of the tanks, from Beatris Tank to Venado Tank, suggests a blend of family names and local wildlife, serving as vital landmarks for local history researchers and genealogists tracing land use in the Brush Country.
