2010 Map of Kingsville West

About this map

King Ranch dominates the landscape of this South Texas coastal plain, where ranching operations and water management shape the terrain. Numerous functional landmarks like the Muerto Pens, Posta Water-Hole, and family-named windmills such as Arredondo Windmill and Mota Huisache Windmill reflect the vital infrastructure of the cattle industry. The local water systems, including Tranquitas Creek and Santa Gertrudis Creek, are punctuated by essential features like King Ranch Dam Number 6. On the eastern edge, the grid of Kingsville emerges, anchored by Texas A and I University and the Santo Gertrudis Memorial Cemetery. The presence of the West Stratton Oil Field and Stratton Oil Field reveals the extraction industry coexisting with traditional ranch land. From the Oliver Till Airport to the western windmills, the map records a workspace where the historic ranching tradition and modern energy production meet.
