1969 Map of Clegg NE

About this map

The sparse landscape along the boundary of Mc Mullen Co Live Oak Co reveals a world of ranching and resource extraction in the late 1960s. This territory is defined by an extensive network of named water sources and pumping infrastructure necessary for cattle and industry, including uniquely named landmarks like the Piggly Wiggly Windmill, Jedionda Windmill, and Aqua Verde Windmill. The topography is etched by seasonal drainage such as Ramirena Creek and Leopard Branch, while family ranching operations like Lyne Ranch and Daugherty Ranch No 1 anchor the scattered settlement pattern. Industrial activity is prominent throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells, a Gravel Pit, and the Iley Ranch Landing Strip, which provided air access to this isolated section of the Texas Brush Country.
