About this map

Venada Ranch and Weil Ranch represent the primary residential anchors in this corner of Jim Hogg County, reflecting the enduring ranching traditions of South Texas. The landscape is defined by its water infrastructure, with dozens of named wells like Buenos Aires Windmill, Agua Verde Windmill, and Santo Domingo Windmill distributed across the grid. These features highlight the necessity of reliable groundwater in a region where large-scale cattle operations dominate the land use.

Energy extraction also marks the area, notably at the East Oil Field. Specialized landmarks such as the Gas Well Lilly Windmill demonstrate the intersection of traditional agriculture and petroleum exploration. A single named thoroughfare, La Lumbrita Rd, provides transit across the northern edge of the quadrangle, while the rest of the terrain is traversed by unnamed tracks connecting isolated landmarks like Casa Blanca Windmill and Leoncitos Windmill.
