About this map

Encino and the rural South Texas ranchlands define this corner of Brooks County, characterized by a complex network of named pastures and enclosures. The land is organized into distinct territorial units like Lucero Pasture and Viboras Pasture, reflecting a tradition of managed grazing and family ranching. These divisions are further refined by smaller grazing areas such as Lucero Trap and Pinole Trap, connected by local corridors like Lucero St and Co Rd 305.

Cultural landmarks are concentrated near the settlement of Encino, most notably the El Lucero Cem, which serves as a vital touchstone for local genealogy. The southern portion of the map transitions toward more prominent topographic features like Quiteria Hill, while namesake locations such as San Tomas Camp anchor the eastern reaches. This modern survey documents the persistent landscape of the Texas brush country, where livestock management remains the primary driver of geographic nomenclature.
