2016 Map of Sinton East

About this map

Sinton anchors the western edge of this coastal prairie landscape, where the town's residential grid meets a vast network of rural county roads. The settlement patterns here, including the communities of Rancho Chico and Loma Linda, reflect the mid-20th-century growth of residential pockets south of the original town center. To the north, the Welder Wildlife refuge protects the riparian corridor along the Aransas River, which forms the boundary between Refugio and San Patricio counties. The hydrological character of the region is further defined by the winding course of Chiltipin Creek, which meanders eastward through the center of the quadrangle. Transport infrastructure is prominent, with Railroad Ave and numerous thoroughfares like FM 1074 and FM 631 connecting the small settlement of Ewelder to the larger San Patricio County network.
