About this map

Santa Fe Ranch and Los Indios Ranch anchor this landscape in northern Hidalgo County, where ranching culture and resource extraction define the local economy. The terrain is marked by an extensive network of named windmills, vital for water management in this arid stretch of South Texas. These features, including Agua Dulce Windmill, Muertos Windmill, and Noche Buena Windmill, serve as critical landmarks across the divided pastures and range lands. The map also documents the industrial presence of the Beaurline Gas Field and Los Indios Gas Field, illustrating how petroleum interests have been integrated into the traditional ranching landscape. Large tracts like the San Juan Pasture demonstrate the scale of landholdings in the region during the early 21st century.
