2013 Map of Mills Bennett

About this map

Mills Bennett and the surrounding ranching landscape of Webb County are defined by a network of drainage creeks and isolated family landmarks. The landscape is dominated by the winding path of Mesquitoso Cr and Parrilla Cr, which are supported by several essential water catchments such as Charo Tank, Home Tank, and Middle Tank. This 2013 survey illustrates the continued reliance on these features in a semi-arid region where water and oil define land use. Evidence of the area's industrial activity is centered at the Lopez Oil Field, while local genealogy is rooted at the Billings Cem near the Billings Ranch. Transportation across this section of South Texas is facilitated by Ranch Road 2050 and Mills Bennett Rd, connecting the dispersed settlements of Las Hermanas and Mills Bennett to the broader regional grid.
