About this map

San Ygnacio Ranch and Rancho Corazon Nuevo anchor this mid-1960s landscape in Webb County, where the brush country is defined by an extensive network of water tanks and windmills essential for ranching. The presence of Mil Ojos Camp and several gas wells indicates the varied land use of the period, balancing traditional cattle operations with emerging energy exploration.

Transportation through the region is marked by the Texas Mexican railway corridor passing through Pescadito in the southeast corner. A dedicated Landing Strip and a Roadside Park along the highway suggest the increasing connectivity of this rural area. The drainage of Tios Creek, San Juanito Creek, and Lobo Creek provides the primary topographic relief, feeding into numerous named livestock reservoirs like House Tank and West Novillos Tank.
