Borregos Ranch and a dense network of family-named windmills define this arid landscape in South Texas. This 2010 survey illustrates the continued importance of groundwater infrastructure for cattle ranching, with dozens of named points like Sufrimiento Windmill, Charco Nuevo Windmill, and Mirasoles Windmill distributed across the terrain. These landmarks often represent historic family holdings or specific pasture locations, providing valuable data for genealogists tracing local land use.
