About this map

Webb serves as a primary waypoint along the International Great Northern Railroad in this south Texas landscape. The map reveals a region defined by extensive landholdings and ranching operations, such as the Callaghan Ranch and the Jabalina Ranch. Transportation and commerce are tied to the corridor of U S Highway No 81, which parallels the rail line through the heart of the territory.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the numerous family-named properties, including the Mathews Ranch, Sanchez R, and J C Salinas. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages like Dolores Creek and the notable elevation of Serrito Prieto. Small-scale details like a lone Cemetery and various tanks emphasize the importance of water management and heritage in this semi-arid pastoral environment.
