Spohn Ranch anchors this landscape of the South Texas brush country, where water management is the primary shaper of human activity and ranching operations. The terrain is defined by seasonal drainages like Cochio Cr. and Jaboncillo Cr., which feed a series of specialized livestock watering points. These named water features, including La Bandera Tank, Kennedy Tank, and Round Corner Tank, reveal the infrastructure required to sustain cattle in a semi-arid environment.
