2012 Map of Santa Elena NW

About this map

Alta Vista Windmill and San Pedro Windmill anchor this 2012 survey of the arid ranchlands in Jim Hogg County, Texas. The landscape is defined by its reliance on groundwater, documented through a network of named windmills that serve as primary geographic markers across the terrain. These features, such as Agua Dulce Windmill and Huisache Windmill, reflect the area's agricultural heritage and the vital importance of water infrastructure in South Texas. The map illustrates a sparse road network connecting these remote points, including Las Mojadas Windmill and Cotulla Windmill. For researchers, these specific labels offer precise locations for rural property boundaries and ranching operations that have persisted into the twenty-first century.
