About this map

Ranching infrastructure and energy exploration define this coastal bend landscape in Kenedy County. The area is characterized by a network of windmills and traps essential for livestock management in the arid South Texas environment, including the Fernades Windmill, Motaralla Windmill, and Marcello Windmill. These scattered water points and enclosures like the Padre Juanito Trap or Marana Trap illustrate the logistics of large-scale cattle operations.

Industrial activity is anchored by the Humble Oil Company Hub Number 1, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to the petroleum industry. Hydrological features such as Cayo Grande provide natural contrast to the grid of tracks and fencelines, while Marana Camp serves as a human footprint in this expansive territory. The map's detail of local routes like CR 1328 reveals the sparse but vital transportation network connecting these remote working sites.
