2013 Map of Venado Creek East

About this map

Frank Nunley Lake and Martinena Ranch Lake serve as key water sources in this arid stretch of Webb County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage. The hydrology of the region is dominated by several significant creeks, including Dolores Cr, Los Olmos Cr, and Venado Cr, which carve paths through the brush country. These waterways, alongside Carrizitos Cr, suggest a land primarily utilized for large-scale ranching operations, with the man-made lakes indicating the vital infrastructure necessary to sustain livestock in South Texas. The absence of concentrated settlements on this sheet highlights the rural and expansive nature of the local economy during this era.
