About this map

Artesia Wells is situated in a landscape defined by large ranching tracts and intermittent watercourses in South Texas. This 2010 survey highlights the rural character of La Salle County, where modern infrastructure like the Interstate 35 corridor parallels older transport routes. The railroad remains a vital artery, evidenced by Tuna Siding north of the main settlement.

Private land ownership is a dominant feature of this sheet, with numerous properties such as those belonging to H Pierson, J E Hendrickson, and G W Chapman clearly marked. The drainage of Las Raices Creek and features like the Allerkamp Ranch Lake Dam illustrate the essential management of water in this semi-arid environment. Local transport is facilitated by a network of ranch roads, including Ranch Rd 133 and Cemetery Rd, which connect these dispersed rural residences.
