Tijerina Ranch and Santa Anita Ranch anchor this South Texas landscape, where life revolves around the scattered water sources and family tracts of the ranching corridor. This 2010 survey of the area near Los Angeles highlights the essential infrastructure of the semi-arid brushland, notably the many named windmills such as Agua Salada Windmill and Santo Domingo Windmill. These features indicate historical property divisions and the vital role of groundwater for cattle operations. The presence of the Santa Anita Cemetery and residential clusters like Lane Number 1 Colonia and Lane Number 2 Colonia reveal the localized settlement patterns that persist along the region’s farm roads. Energy interests are also evident via the Santillana Gas Field, which shares the terrain with traditional agricultural landmarks like Casa Blanca Ranch and El Desierto Ranch.
