About this map

Bentsen Ranch sits at the heart of this brushland landscape in Hidalgo County, defined by a network of ranch roads and scattered water infrastructure. The map documents an area where survival and industry depend on the subterranean, illustrated by a string of named landmarks such as Loraleno Windmill, Yoseda Windmill, and Guarcahe Windmill. These features, alongside others like La Matansa Windmill and Guagial Windmill, trace the distribution of water sources across the arid terrain.

Energy production is a significant footprint on the land, evidenced by the El Benadito Oil and Gas Field in the north and the Hinde Oil Field to the southwest. The transport of these resources and ranch goods is facilitated by a grid of local routes, including FM 681 and La Guajolota Rd. This 2010 survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land divisions that characterize this portion of South Texas.
