About this map

Jabonclillos Ranch anchors the southwestern portion of this coastal Texas landscape, where the seasonal movement of water across Sand and Mud Flats defines the geography. The map reveals an intricate hydraulic network essential for ranching in this arid environment, marked by numerous named windmills and water sources including Huisacha Well, Zacahuistle Well, and the Hinojosena Artesian Well.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by the sprawling inlets of Cayo Del Mazon and Cayo De Hinoso, which transition into drainage systems like Tunas Creek and Petronila Creek. These waterways are flanked by low-lying wetlands and intermittent pools such as Little Tule Lake. Infrastructure remains sparse, focused primarily on cattle operations and private transit, evidenced by a remote Landing Strip and a series of pipelines and fences cutting through the brush.
