2010 Map of Pulliam Ranch

About this map

The Nueces River winds through this cattle-ranching corridor of Zavala County, where a network of seasonal creeks and man-made water tanks defines the land use. The map illustrates a landscape of large estates, including the Pulliam Ranch, Cain Ranch, and Lyles Ranch, which are supported by numerous water management features like Palmer Tank Dam and Peterson Lake Dam. The presence of the Uvalde Test Track in the eastern portion of the quadrangle introduces a modern industrial footprint to this traditionally agricultural region. Transportation and transit points are marked by A B Junction and Washer, while the drainage of the area is further characterized by Sand Ridge Creek and the meandering Camp Lake Slough. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks such as the Kennedy Windmill and Palmer Ranch, which provide evidence of long-standing ranching operations in this part of South Texas.
