2010 Map of Turcotte

About this map

The South Texas ranching landscape around Turcotte is defined by its expansive, low-lying coastal plains and the vital infrastructure required to support life in Kenedy County. The most striking pattern across this 2010 survey is the dense distribution of named windmills, which serve as the primary landmarks in an otherwise open terrain. From the Redundant Windmill in the north to the Saragata Windmill in the southwest, these features indicate the critical importance of groundwater management in this region. The natural hydrology is punctuated by Los Finados Lake, a significant water body situated west of the main transit corridor. Transport is dominated by the north-south route of highway 77, which provides the primary link through this sparsely settled area, passing near the eponymous Turcotte location. Other notable points such as Esperanza Windmill and Turkey Windmill further highlight the named pastoral landscape that has sustained local ranching operations for generations.
