TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT

The ranch has a gentle topographic relief of 30 feet sloping from the northern portion of the ranch to the southern portion of Mossy Slough. The tree cover in the southern portion of the ranch is predominantly cedar elms, hackberries, bull mesquites, a few live oaks, ashes plus diverse native South Texas riparian underbrush.

To the north the terrain begins to level out and provide more excellent habitat for the native wildlife. During years with average to high rainfall, portions of the ranch naturally collect water and act as watering holes for wildlife and livestock alike. Having old-growth Bull mesquites, a few live oaks, guayacon, lime prickly ash, guajillo, Texas Ebony, Texas Persimmon and granjeno, the land thrives with the high protein flora to naturally grow and sustain healthy populations of trophy whitetail and other wildlife.
