2012 Map of Monte Christo

About this map

Monte Christo Gas Field sits at the heart of this Hidalgo County landscape, where the traditional ranching heritage of South Texas meets modern industrial extraction. The area is defined by a rigid grid of agricultural and access roads, including 12 Mile Line and 11 Mile Line, which carve the terrain into large parcels. Aviation and resource management are prominent, with the Moore Field Airport providing a significant logistical hub in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Smaller-scale landmarks like the El Golfo Windmill and La Trenca Windmill underscore the continued importance of water management in this semi-arid region. Established holdings such as La Gloria Ranch persist among the intersecting routes of FM-490 and Brushline Rd, illustrating the transition from open range to a more developed rural infrastructure.
