1978 Map of Burro Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Burro Lake serves as a focal point in this high-plains landscape of Guadalupe County, where water sources dictate the placement of human infrastructure. The arid environment is defined by intermittent drainage systems like San Pablo Draw and the critical presence of named water stations and livestock infrastructure. Ranching history is evident through the distribution of family-named landmarks such as North Winkle Windmill, Winkle Windmill, and the Block Windmill. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a straight diagonal across the northern terrain, marking the primary industrial corridor through this sparsely populated region. These topographic details reveal how life and transit in the late 1970s relied heavily on the reliable placement of wells like Twin Wells and the San Pablo Windmill to sustain agriculture and travel.
