San Jacinto Ranch and Rooney Ranch anchor the high desert ranching landscape of the Big Bend region, as documented in this 1917 survey by the War Department and the U.S. Geological Survey. The terrain is dominated by the massive rise of Tascotal Mesa and the sweeping Green Valley, connected by the early transit corridors of the Marfa and Lajitas Road and the Seminole Trail. These routes follow the natural gaps and springs essential for survival in this arid environment, such as Alazan Spring.
