2010 Map of Yturria

About this map

Benitez Colonia and several neighboring residential developments define the southern portion of this landscape, reflecting the modern growth of colonias in South Texas. These settlements, including Lisa Colonia and Willacy Acres Colonia, are situated along a grid of farm-to-market roads like FM 1761 and various county routes. The northern expanse of the area transitions into large pastoral tracts and ranch lands, characterized by family-named landmarks such as Thomas Ranch and Esperanza Ranch. This portion of the quadrangle is dotted with numerous water-pumping points essential for livestock, including Toro Melon Windmill, Ano Nuevo Windmill, and El Ebanito Windmill. The presence of the West Main Drain indicates the regional infrastructure required for water management in this agricultural and ranching environment. The settlement at Yturria serves as a central point along the main north-south transportation corridor, where US Highway 77 Business and rural county roads converge.
