King Ranch Opens South Texas Highway Through Empire
A new highway cuts through the King Ranch and Kenedy Ranch in southern Texas, linking Corpus Christi to the lower Rio Grande Valley. The 1.5 million acre King Ranch and 700,000 acre Kenedy Ranch now sit within a single connected route, ending long detours. The gatekeeper and fences will remain, but the road marks a fading Old West tradition as the ranches expand with a new million-dollar headquarters and a modern transport corridor.
