2010 Map of Pinto Creek

About this map

Pinto Creek meanders through this portion of Webb County, defining a landscape of traditional Texas ranching operations in the early twenty-first century. The area is characterized by large private holdings, including Pilotes Ranch, Galvan Ranch, and Thomas Ranch, which serve as the primary landmarks across the terrain. These estates are connected by a network of regional thoroughfares like Eagle Pass Rd and Ranch Rd 1472. The importance of water management in this arid region is evidenced by features such as the Galvan South River Tank and the path of Carricitos Creek. In addition to livestock and land management, the presence of the Rachal Airport indicates the scale of travel and connectivity required for these sprawling properties in South Texas.
