About this map

Orange Grove serves as the primary hub of this Jim Wells County landscape, where the grid-like residential streets contrast with the sprawling rural expanses beyond. The Southern Pacific rail line bisects the territory, running southwest past Alfred and providing a historic transportation spine for the region's agricultural interests. Multiple ephemeral watercourses, including Agua Dulce Cr and Quinta Cr, carve through the land, indicating the drainage patterns essential to local ranching and farming operations.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community landmarks, such as Adams Cem near the southern boundary and McNeill Cem to the north. Smaller residential developments like Westdale appear alongside a dense network of county roads, reflecting the steady subdivision of land near the town center. The presence of features like Tecolote Cr and Sandy Hollow Cr further defines the low-lying hydrology of this South Texas coastal plain environment.
