Top: Storehouse at Randado, built in the 1840s. This structure first served as a general store, then a U.S. Post Office from 1882
until 1959, and it is now a storage room for saddles, tack, and other ranch equipment. Courtesy Joe S. Graham.
Bottom: This earthen presa (dam) at Randado Ranch in Jim Hogg County was built in the 1830s, creating a reservoir of about five
acres to water the large herds of cattle on the ranch. The dam was made by hand, using rawhide mecapales andguaripas to haul
earth from in front of the dam to scatter it along the top. Courtesy Joe S. Graham.
