2016 Map of Benavides

About this map

Benavides serves as the central hub of this Duval County landscape, where a traditional grid of streets is defined by thoroughfares like Texas Blvd, Railroad Ave, and Main St. The town's historical development is evident in street names such as School St and Depot St, which point to the civic and transit foundations of the community. Surrounding the settlement, the terrain is deeply etched by a network of seasonal watercourses including Santa Gertrudis Creek, Las Animas Creek, and Jaboncillos Creek. These drainages create a complex topographical pattern across the South Texas brush country, influencing the placement of rural routes like Carmel Road and County Road 306. The map captures a moment in the mid-2010s where modern highway designations like FM 2295 and FM 3196 overlay an older network of named local streets.
