1970 Map of Coralina Ranch

About this map

Coralina Ranch and a series of family-named livestock operations define this West Texas landscape at the turn of the 1970s. The terrain is characterized by the branching drainages of the North Prong Valley and Middle Prong Valley, where water sources like Sixmile Waterhole and Crescent Lake were vital for ranching operations in an arid climate. Significant industrial development is evident in the North Valley Gas Field, supported by an aboveground pipeline and a local Pumping Sta. Small private aircraft facilities, such as the Landing Field near Derrick Ranch, highlight the immense distances of the Edwards Plateau. For genealogists, the Black Cem and several established homesteads like Quemado Ranch and Susch Ranch provide specific points of reference for local families.
