2013 Map of Palomas Ranch SE

About this map

Ranching infrastructure and water access points define the landscape of south Texas in this early 21st-century survey of the Palomas Ranch area. The territory is marked by a network of named water sources essential to livestock management, including Madrigueras Windmill, Chivo Windmill, and San Cristobal Windmill. These features indicate the ongoing importance of groundwater in an arid environment where surface water is scarce. Local history is anchored at the Perez Cem, a small burial ground located east of the primary ranch roads. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of county routes such as Co RD-408 and Co RD-409, which provide the only managed access through the expansive ranch lands. The distribution of features like Las Burras Windmill and La Colcha Windmill highlights a sprawling, low-density settlement pattern focused on agricultural utility rather than urban development.
