About this map

Alice serves as the hub of this South Texas landscape, where the transition from urban streets to sprawling rural land is marked by numerous residential developments known as colonias. These include Rancho Alegre, Alice Acres, and the Mayes Addition Colonia, reflecting a specific pattern of settlement and growth on the city's periphery. To the south, the community of Ben Bolt sits along the primary highway corridor, separated from the main city by a network of ranch roads and oil infrastructure.

Energy extraction is a defining characteristic of the region, evidenced by the Tom Graham Oil Field, Magnolia City Oil Field, and Borregos Oil Field. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, such as Fraternal Cemetery, Lattas Cemetery, and Calaveras Cemetery. The terrain is drained by a series of creeks, most notably Lattas Creek and Tranquitas Creek, which cut through the landscape near landmarks like the Alice International Airport and the Alto Del Burro Windmill.
