About this map

Encino and its surrounding ranchlands define this corner of Brooks County, where the landscape is divided into a series of named pastures and traps reflecting the region's deep cattle-working heritage. The local genealogy is anchored by El Lucero Cem, situated near Lucero St and Co Rd 305. This network of rural roads connects the various grazing blocks, from Los Muertos Pasture in the north to the southern reaches of Mineral Pasture.

To the east, the topography transitions into the varied terrain of Quiteria Pasture, punctuated by the elevation of Quiteria Hill and the seasonal waters of Quiteria Lake. The map preserves the specific terminology of South Texas ranching, documenting large-scale enclosures like Patricio Pasture and specialized holding areas such as Lucero Trap and Botella Trap, which indicate the enduring economic patterns of the area.
