2010 Map of Benavides

About this map

Benavides serves as the primary hub in this South Texas landscape, characterized by a complex network of ephemeral waterways. The town's grid is situated near the confluence of Las Animas Creek and Santa Gertrudis Creek, reflecting the importance of drainage in this semi-arid region. To the north, the residential cluster of Mario Olga Colonia extends the settlement footprint along the secondary road corridors. The surrounding terrain is defined by low-lying drainages including Agua Poquita Creek, Jaboncillos Creek, and North Concepcion Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates the modern road network, where state routes like FM 2295 and county roads such as Co RD 306 provide access across the brushland. Local historians can observe how the community of Benavides remained centered on its original townsite while smaller developments emerged on its periphery.
