2016 Map of Agua Nueva

About this map

Agua Nueva anchors this South Texas landscape in Jim Hogg County, situated along the corridor of FM 1017. The area is defined by a sparse network of ranch roads that reflect the region's long-standing pastoral economy and large landholdings. Notable among these are Alice Jones Thompson Rd and Las Palomas Ranch Rd, which cut through the arid terrain to connect various rural homesteads. A significant point of interest for genealogists and local historians is the Ramirez Cem, located off La Salada Ranch Rd. This small burial ground serves as a quiet marker of the family lineages that have managed these South Texas plains for generations. The map illustrates a transition from the primary thoroughfare to more isolated routes like El Reposo Rd, showing how the modern infrastructure integrates with older ranching boundaries.
