TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT
The ranch is predominantly large intact stands of native diverse brush and trees, including live oaks, and impressive bull mesquites, all providing excellent browse and shelter for wildlife. On the northeast portion of the ranch is a draw system with a nice stand of live oaks. Approximately 24 acres of this draw is located in the FEMA floodplain.
WILDLIFE

AREA HISTORY
The community of Pettus (fka Dry Medio) dates back to the early days of Texas with Pettus being renamed around the time of the Civil War in honor of area settler John Freeman Pettus who participated in the battle of San Jacinto. To the east, about halfway to Goliad, is the small community known as Charco. Charco was settled by at least four members of Stephen F. Austins Old Three Hundred. Spanish explorers in the eighteenth century recorded that an Indian village was located at this site. The Spanish charco means pool or watering hole, a name suggested by the numerous bodies of water that once dotted the area. The name is also said to come from an Indian designation for the locality, referring to a petrified stump near a watering pool.
