2016 Map of Banquete

About this map

Agua Dulce Creek meanders through this portion of Nueces County, shaping the landscape near the small community of Banquete. This map documents a region where rural residential growth and agriculture intersect, centered around the Rancho Banquete and Rabb settlements. One of the more distinct landmarks is the Old Hoppe Place Airport, a small private airstrip situated just west of the main Banquete townsite. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by several watercourses, including Petronila Creek and Banquete Cr, which flow through the southern and central portions of the quadrangle. The road network, composed of Farm to Market roads like FM 666 and various county roads, reflects the partitioned land use typical of this coastal prairie region, while the newer residential development at Spring Gardens appears in the southeast corner.
