About this map

Orange Grove serves as the central hub of this South Texas landscape, where a dense network of residential colonias radiates outward along the Farm to Market roads. The mapping reveals a distinct pattern of rural subdivision, with numerous named communities such as Johns Valley Colonia, Orange Grove Villa Colonia, and Heritage Acres Colonia establishing a modern residential footprint among traditional ranching lands like the K-Bar Ranch.

Hydrological features including Quinta Creek, Aqua Dulce Creek, and Leon Creek meander across the terrain, shaping the placement of long-standing landmarks. For those researching local family history, several burial sites are clearly marked, including the McNeill Cemetery to the north and the Adams Cemetery near the southern settlement of Alfred. The proximity of Westdale and various smaller colonias to the main town site illustrates the transition of the Jim Wells County countryside into a more complex patchwork of small-lot developments and agricultural holdings.
