About this map

Premont sits at the northern edge of this South Texas landscape where the boundaries of Jim Wells, Duval, and Brooks counties converge. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of intermittent drainage ways, including the prominent Los Olmos Cr and Cibolo Cr, which snake across a largely open ranching and agricultural expanse. The area reflects a rural South Texas infrastructure, anchored by US Hwy 281 as the primary north-south artery connecting the small settlement of La Gloria to the larger town center of Premont.

Aviation and transit history are visible through the inclusion of Weeks Airport, while the presence of features like Ramada del Toro Cr and Lagunas Negras points to the specific hydrographic character of this Brush Country region. The map provides a contemporary view of the region's county road system, illustrating how long-established ranch properties are accessed via routes such as FM 1538 and FM 716.
