About this map

Deep ranching country in South Texas defines this landscape, where private airstrips like Bella Vista Ranch Airport and La Esperanza Ranch Airport serve as vital connections across the expansive terrain. The drainage patterns of Las Raices Cr, Cuchara Cr, and Jaboncillo Cr underscore the region's hydraulic character, where seasonal waterways cut through the brushland. The local road network, including Galvan Rd and several numbered ranch routes, provides the primary infrastructure for the large landholdings that dominate this portion of the county. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern continuation of traditional South Texas land use, where large-scale ranching and private aviation intersect in a sparsely populated environment.
