USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Nueces River winds through this South Texas landscape, anchoring a network of cattle ranches and early rail lines along the Dimmit County and La Salle County line. The settlement at Artesia Wells serves as a focal point for the region's ranching economy, which is supported by extensive landholdings like the Cochina Ranch and San Roque Ranch. Numerous individual farmsteads and homes, including those of R Armstrong, G W Chapman, and P S Connell, are scattered across the brush country, revealing the established family settlement patterns of the pre-war era.
