About this map

Las Raices Creek and Cuchara Creek wind through this stretch of South Texas ranch land in Webb County. The landscape is defined by its wide, open cattle country and the sparse but vital infrastructure that supports it. Private holdings such as Brewster Ranch and Bennet Ranch are linked by a network of dirt roads and paths that traverse the drainage basins of Cochio Creek and Jaboncillo Creek. A notable landmark in this remote territory is the La Esperanza Ranch Airport, indicating the reliance on private aviation for access and transport across these expansive acreage blocks. The drainage patterns shown here reflect the seasonal hydrology of the brush country, where intermittent watercourses shape the movement of people and livestock.
