1956 Map of Becerra

Water management is a visible priority across the brush country, with numerous water wells and windmills marked along the drainages of Venado Creek and Salado Creek. To the northeast, the Conical Hunting Lodge stands as a distinct landmark among the more utilitarian holdings like Lewis Martin Ranch and Bridgeforth Ranch. The map captures a transition point in the region's development, documenting the early road networks and fence lines that partitioned these large territories before the modernization of the late 20th century.
