Scouting ground near Guerra for the coming season? Think of the Jim Hogg County hunting map as two layers: state-managed land plus the county's parcel boundaries. This Jim Hogg County guide covers: where public hunting land is mapped, how to read private parcel lines, and getting landowner permission the right way.
The Jim Hogg County hunting map: start here
Around Guerra, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department publishes the public-land maps, along with seasons and regulations.
The free map to start with
Go first to the Texas county CAD map; it includes every tax parcel around Thompsonville and Agua Nueva. If the land is near Thompsonville, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For acreage around Las Lomitas, copy the parcel ID before closing the panel; every office in the county uses it to find the file.
Before you lean on the lines
With a lot near Hebbronville, the acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real boundary on the ground. For acreage around Thompsonville, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Scouting from the aerial
On the aerial around South Fork Estates, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; match each spot to its parcel.
Being a good guest
Leave gates as you found them on land near South Fork Estates, and tell someone where you'll be; owners remember good guests.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
With a lot near Thompsonville, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the County Clerk. For land near Agua Nueva, bring the book and page shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
Land on the county line
Jim Hogg County meets Brooks County, Duval County, Starr County, Webb County, and Zapata County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Las Lomitas can be split in two county records, so open the neighboring map too.
