Sarita serves as the focal point of this South Texas coastal plain survey, situated along the corridor of Highway 77. The landscape is defined by its ranching heritage, characterized by an extensive network of named windmills such as the Rancho Verde Windmill, Casa Blanca Windmill, and Turcotte Windmill that dot the arid terrain. To the north and west, the hydrology is marked by the winding course of Los Olmos Creek and the seasonally variable waters of Cayo Lake and Palo Blanco Creek. For those researching local family history, the Sarita Cemetery is a prominent landmark located just north of the town center, while local thoroughfares like Armstrong Ave and La Parra Ave provide a framework for the residential core of the community. This map illustrates the vital role of water infrastructure in maintaining the vast tracts of land surrounding this Kenedy County settlement.
