1963 Map of Anna Rose

About this map

Ramirena Creek and its many tributaries, including Kentuck Creek and Lagarto Creek, wind through this South Texas landscape where Live Oak, Jim Wells, and Duval counties meet. The settlement of Anna Rose serves as a central landmark in a region defined by ranching and resource extraction in the early 1960s. The map captures an active industrial footprint with numerous Oil Well sites and a Drill Hole scattered across the Ramirena Field and Amargosa Field. Water management is a primary feature of the local geography, evidenced by a dense network of family and place-named landmarks such as Lagarto Windmill, Patterson Windmill, and Calabaza Windmill. For researchers, the presence of smaller holdings like Freeborn Ranch and Rancho de la Parrita, alongside several scattered Grave and Cem markers, provides specific points of interest for tracing local family history and land use patterns during this era.
