It is additionally supplied from drainage ravines on both the subject property and the land across the creek. When Dixon Creek is up, you will see black bass swimming in it.

Across the creek on the propertys south border is the 3,600 acre Dixon Water Foundation, a conservation ranch. The county road dead ends just past the Lytle Ranch, so you have no through traffic except the neighboring ranch owners.
