About this map

The South Texas brush country along the Webb Co Duval Co line is defined here by a sprawling network of energy extraction and ranching infrastructure. Macho Creek and Santonino Creek meander through the terrain, which is dotted with numerous named windmills reflecting the region's deep reliance on groundwater management. Notable among these are Buena Suerte Windmill, Callejón Windmill, and Pila Grande Windmill.

Industry and local history intersect at the West Cole Field, where countless Oil Wells and Gas Wells are linked by pipelines and unimproved roads. Small settlements and ranching hubs like San Pablo and Dimm Ranch anchor the landscape, while markers such as Loma Blanca Cem and another smaller Cem provide important points of reference for genealogists. Water management features like Upper Field Tank and Presa Seca Tank further emphasize the land's utility for livestock in a semi-arid environment.
