About this map

La Parrita Valley Colonia and the nearby Rancho de la Parrita characterize the southern reach of this Jim Wells County landscape. The area is defined by its rural ranching and energy production infrastructure, notably the Ramirena Oil Field situated in the northeast. Water management is a primary feature of this arid terrain, marked by several distinct landmarks including the Lagarto Trib Dam and a series of named water sources such as the Lagarto Windmill, Patterson Windmill, and Conejo Windmill.

A network of drainage systems, including Kentuck Creek, Lagarto Creek, and Ramirena Creek, weave through the landscape alongside established transit routes like FM 624 and FM 3469. Small settlements and family holdings like Anna Rose and Freeborn Ranch are connected by these farm-to-market and county roads, reflecting a late 20th-century Texas ranching economy that relies heavily on localized groundwater and oil extraction.
