Santa Elena serves as a central point in this South Texas landscape where the boundaries of Jim Hogg, Brooks, and Starr counties converge. The area is defined by a network of ranch roads and local routes, reflecting a rural economy centered on large landholdings and aviation infrastructure like the San Rafael Ranch Airport. Historic travel patterns are preserved in the naming of local thoroughfares such as Old Church Rd and Old San Isidro Rd, which hint at older connections between these remote ranching communities. The map details a transition between open scrubland and the structured divisions of ranching estates, navigated via Bazon Ranch Rd and Kelsy Bass Rd.
