About this map

Armstrong serves as a central point of activity in this section of Kenedy County, positioned along the corridor of U.S. Route 77. The landscape is defined by its deep ranching heritage, as evidenced by a network of named water sources including Encinitos Windmill, Tecolote Windmill, Maleta Windmill, and Mustania Windmill. These features indicate the critical importance of water management in the semi-arid environment of South Texas.

Transport and navigation are further highlighted by the Armstrong Ranch Airport, while Tokyo Hill provides a subtle break in the local topography. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the distribution of these essential rural markers, reflecting how the area has been organized around cattle ranching and transportation routes long established in the region. The map preserves the specific locations of widely dispersed family-named landmarks like Gueras Windmill, which are vital for local history and genealogical research.
