About this map

La Moca Ranch and the surrounding ranchlands of Webb County are characterized by an extensive network of water management features essential for life in this arid South Texas terrain. The landscape is defined by its numerous cattle tanks, including Kennedy Tank, La Euraca Tank, and Dry Fourmile Tank, which collect runoff from ephemeral drainages like Cochio Cr and Jabonçillo Cr. These named tanks are critical nodes in the local ranching economy, providing reliable water sources across large tracts of land.

Transportation through this region relies on a grid of numbered ranch roads that branch off from Spohn Ranch Rd and the main corridor of Route 83. The map captures a detailed view of the modern ranching infrastructure, from the Palito Blanco Arroyo in the south to Round Corner Tank and La Bandera Tank, illustrating how water and roads dictate the movement of livestock and people in this territory.
