Tortuga Cr meanders southward through this South Texas landscape, defining a network of drainages and seasonal water sources along the Zavala Co and Dimmit Co line. The ranching heritage of the region is evident in the numerous named earthen tanks and reservoirs that punctuate the terrain, including Woodard Lake, Slyder Lake, and the family-named S Kieschnick Tank. This specific pattern of water management is essential for livestock in the Brush Country, where permanent natural water is scarce.
