The community of El Sauz anchor the western portion of this Starr County landscape, where the semi-arid brush country of South Texas meets a specialized economy of ranching and energy extraction. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the numerous named windmills including El Negro Windmill, Salado Windmill, and Rodeo Windmill, which dot the plains north of La Morita Rd. These landmarks represent a long-standing reliance on groundwater to support livestock and habitation away from the ephemeral flow of Los Olmos Cr.
