Younes You can try what we used to do in the "bad old days" when it took 20 minutes to calculate a semi-variogram on 1,000 samples -- moving windows.
Choose a sub-region size which includes about 1,000 samples. Calculate and graph from the samples in this window. Shift half-a-window in one direction. Repeat. Then display all of your graphs as a 'map' for each level. In 1981, I covered the floor of an empty meeting room with computer print out ;-) Thank god for graphics. This approach has the added advantage of being able to visually assess stationarity or lack-of. Only then should you consider modelling.
