About this map

Mills Bennett stands at the center of this rural Webb County landscape, where ranching and energy extraction define the local economy. The area is characterized by sparse settlements and livestock water sources like Middle Tank and Home Tank, essential for sustaining cattle in this South Texas environment. Transportation is anchored by FM 2050 and Mills Bennett Rd, which connect the small community to outlying operations like the Lopez Oil Field.

Family history and early settlement patterns are preserved through the naming of Billings Ranch and the nearby Billings Cemetery. Local drainage is marked by the seasonal path of Mesquitoso Creek and Parrilla Creek South, while the label for Las Hermanas indicates another established point of interest in this brushland region. The map reflects a modern era of land management where traditional ranching lines intersect with the industrial infrastructure of the Texas oil industry.
