2016 Map of Bentsen Ranch

About this map

Bentsen Ranch sits at the center of this South Texas landscape, defined by the long-established ranching boundaries and scrubland of the Rio Grande Valley hinterlands. A striking diagonal boundary line marks the division between Starr and Hidalgo counties, slicing through a geometric grid of rural routes and property lines. The transport network reflects the area's agricultural and ranching dependencies, with primary access provided by FM 681 and a series of county roads like La Guajolota Rd and Guasolota Ranch Rd. This 2016 survey documents the land as it appeared in the mid-2010s, showing a terrain shaped by large-scale landholdings and irrigation patterns typical of the borderlands north of the Rio Grande. The sparse distribution of named settlements emphasizes the importance of private ranching hubs in this part of Hidalgo County.
