About this map

Pita Pens and a network of named pastures define this South Texas landscape in the early twenty-first century. The area is characterized by an extensive infrastructure of windmills, such as San Juan Windmill, La Mula Windmill, and Old Barrosa Windmill, which support the region's ranching heritage. Large divisions of land like the Papalote del Norte and Patricio Pasture suggest a specialized livestock economy that has persisted over generations.

Industrial development is integrated into this pastoral setting through the Pita Oil Field and Pita West Oil Field. The map reveals how local resources are managed, from the Barroso Trap to the distribution of water at sites like Las Avispas Windmill. This 2010 survey records the specific landmarks of Brooks County, where remote ranching operations rely on these widely dispersed named points for navigation and management.
