2022 Map of Palito Blanco

About this map

Palito Blanco serves as the central hub of this South Texas landscape, situated at the junction of FM 735 and Co RD 440. The area is defined by a series of intermittent drainages and traditional ranching terrain, including the Santa Gertrudis Cr, Guajillo Cr, and the distinctively named Wild Steer Swale. For genealogists and local historians, this map is an invaluable record of family-named landmarks and heritage sites. A remarkable concentration of private burial grounds is scattered throughout the territory, including Hinojosa Cem, Gonzales Cem, Saltiero Cem, and Valadez Cem. The western edge of the sheet follows the boundary between Duval Co and Jim Wells Co, capturing a rural network of county roads and water features like Laguna de los Encuerados and Rosita Tank that have supported regional livestock operations for generations.
