Yup! There were seas of grass as well in the middle of the mott! The big one was around the site of the Rancheria grande campsite somewhere in the vicinity of where the Little River runs into the Brazos or a bit downstream. Maybe even as far downstream as the SH 21 crossing of the Brazos.
This site was a large campsite where natives met at a predetermined time for a trade fair. Henri Joutel recorded it in his memoirs with La Salle. Along with another site in the area of present monument hill south of La Grange Tx. I will also add these site are approximate, as they are reasonably good guestimates to their location.
Probably the one man who has done the best research on these locations along the Camino Real is former TxDOT archarologist Al McGraw. He is a wealth of information. And a fellow Mauser shooter!

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
