About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the southwestern boundary of this Webb County landscape, defining the international border between the United States and Mexico. This brush-country terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems and isolated ranching infrastructure. Roberts Ranch sits in the northern reaches, while the diagonal path of Eagle Pass Rd cuts across the center, providing a primary overland route through the scrubland. Numerous ephemeral water sources and tanks, such as Tordillo Tank, are scattered throughout the quadrangle to support livestock in this arid environment.

Waterways like San Lorenzo Creek, Espada Creek, and San Cirilo Creek weave through the territory, eventually feeding toward the river. The settlement pattern is sparse, typical of South Texas ranching country in the early 21st century, focusing on large landholdings rather than concentrated towns. This map offers a clear view of the ranch roads and natural topography that dictate movement across the borderlands.
