2013 Map of Telephone Tanks

About this map

Brewster Ranch and Bennet Ranch anchor this landscape in northwestern Webb County, illustrating the large-scale cattle and livestock operations that define this section of the South Texas Plains. The terrain is structured by a network of seasonal drainages, including the meandering Cuchara Cr, Las Raices Cr, and Jaboncillo Cr, which flow through the brush country toward larger regional watersheds. Transportation and logistics are central to the area's layout, with the Galvan Ranch Rd cutting through the center and the La Esperanza Ranch Airport providing critical aerial access for these expansive properties. This map captures the region's character as a managed wilderness, where water resources like the Telephone Tank are vital markers in an environment dominated by private holdings and ranching history.
