2013 Map of Palomas Ranch SW

About this map

Jim Hogg County ranch land is defined by an intricate network of livestock infrastructure in this southern Texas survey. The landscape is dotted with named water sources essential for cattle operations, including Las Coyotas Windmill and Agua Nueva Windmill. These features, often bearing Spanish names such as La Javalina Windmill and San Javier de Ajuera Windmill, reflect the deep-rooted heritage of the region's ranching economy. The distribution of these windmills, from Chocolate Windmill in the west to Northe Windmill in the east, reveals the practical layout of grazing tracts where water security dictated the movement of livestock. A series of unimproved roads and 4WD tracks connect these sites, illustrating the remote and specialized nature of land use in this part of the Rio Grande Plain. Other notable landmarks providing insight into local geography include Agua Dulce Windmill and Avispa Windmill.
