About this map

Salado Creek and Jaboncillos Creek drain the arid brushlands of Jim Wells County, where the 2010 landscape is defined by a dense network of ranch roads and energy infrastructure. The legacy of large-scale cattle operations is evident through established family holdings like Seeligson Ranch and Los Jaboncillos Ranch. Water management is the primary driver of development here, represented by numerous livestock watering points such as Government Tank and the Llano Ancho Tank, alongside a dozen named landmarks like the La Patrona Windmill and Agua Fria Windmill.

Petroleum extraction remains a major economic footprint across the quadrangle, with the Premont Oil Field, East Premont Oil Field, and Seeligson Oil Field dominating the southern half of the sheet. For local history researchers, the Las Piedritas Cemetery provides a specific point of genealogical interest, while the private Seeligson Ranch Airport highlights the logistical scale of these sprawling South Texas properties.
