1972 Map of Borregos Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Jim Hogg and Starr County line bisects this South Texas landscape, defined by a sparse ranching economy in the early 1970s. The area is characterized by an extensive network of named windmills, which serve as the primary landmarks across the brushland. Distinctive sites such as Borregos Ranch and Rancho Viejo anchor the survey, while numerous Oil Wells and a scattering of Gravel Pits indicate the region's mineral interests. The presence of isolated Cemeteries and family-named structures like Santa Barbara Windmill and Sufrimiento Windmill provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local landholdings. This survey also records various infrastructure elements of the era, including multiple pipelines and a prominent Radio Tower near the eastern boundary.
