About this map

Premont occupies the northeast corner of this South Texas landscape, where the town's residential grid transitions into a vast network of rural county roads. The importance of the regional petroleum industry is evident in the La Gloria Oil Field, located near the small settlement of La Gloria. This 2010 survey highlights a complex drainage system characterized by the meandering paths of Los Olmos Creek, Ramada del Toro Creek, and Cibolo Creek, which define the low-lying topography of Jim Wells County.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with Weeks Airport providing aerial access and the Alto Verde Windmill serving as a isolated landmark in the southwest. A dense web of farm-to-market roads and county routes, such as FM 716 and FM 1538, connect the scattered homesteads and industrial sites. The terrain is dotted with seasonal water features like Lagunas Negras, illustrating the semi-arid environment's reliance on these intermittent watercourses.
