About this map

Premont sits on the western edge of this landscape, serving as a gateway to the expansive ranching and oil territories of Jim Wells County. The terrain is defined by large-scale land management units like the Alazan Pasture and Laguna Larga Pasture, which are supported by a dense network of specialized infrastructure. A striking number of windmills, including the La Mula Windmill, Javalin Windmill, and Canales Windmill, are distributed across the countryside to sustain livestock and operations in this semi-arid environment.

Energy production is a central theme, evidenced by the Tijerina Oil Field, the Falfurrias Oil Field, and the Tijerina-Canales-Blucher Oil Field. These industrial zones are connected by a grid of county roads and ranch routes like Ranch Road 2191. In the south, the Pedro Jaramillo Cemetery near Los Olmos Creek remains a significant local landmark, reflecting the area's deep-rooted ranching heritage and cultural geography.
