1980 Map of Callaghan Ranch North

About this map

Cerrito Prieto Ranch and San Roman Ranch anchor this landscape of the South Texas brush country as it appeared in the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage ways including Jabonci llo Creek, Dolores Creek, and Arroyo Blanco, which cut through the ranchlands toward the southeast. Evidence of the region's energy and infrastructure development is prominent, marked by numerous Oil Wells, a Pipeline, and a Landing Strip. The eastern edge of the survey is dominated by the industrial corridor of the Missouri Pacific railroad, which runs parallel to the highway through the small settlements of Cactus and San Roman. Cultural landmarks are sparse but specific, including a Roadside Park and a lone Cem near the rail line, providing critical points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying the rural layout of Webb County before modern expansion.
