About this map

The settlement of Viboras serves as the focal point for this Starr County landscape, where the road network reflects generations of ranching history and family landholdings. A intricate web of local routes like Villarreal Rd, Los Villarreal Rd, and Alejandro Guerra Rch Rd suggests a community defined by large estates and agricultural lineage.

Ephemeral water management is central to life in this semi-arid region, evidenced by the numerous named stock ponds and catchment basins such as Los Charcos Tank, Garbancillo Tank, and Monterrey Tank. These features, along with the intermittent drainages of Los Olmos Cr and Remadura de Sandia Cr, dictate the movement and settlement patterns of this South Texas brush country. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the terrain just before the middle of the second decade of the 21st century.
