2013 Map of Palomas Ranch NW

About this map

Palo Blanco Oil Field dominates the northern landscape of this Jim Hogg County region, illustrating the continued significance of petroleum extraction in South Texas. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral passage of Palo Blanco Cr, which provides the primary drainage through an area largely managed for ranching and resource development. Infrastructure is characterized by a network of county routes, including Co Rd-109 and Co Rd 107, which connect remote industrial and agricultural sites. Evidence of traditional water management for livestock is found at Vaquias Windmill in the southern portion of the sheet. This survey offers a precise look at the rural landscape and industrial footprint at the beginning of the twenty-first century, documenting the precise locations of well pads and ranch roads before subsequent landscape changes.
