1965 Map of Cuervo Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Rio Grande waters define the southern boundary of this Webb County landscape, where the international border separates Texas and Tamaulipas. In the mid-1960s, the area was characterized by a network of ranchlands and water management features essential for livestock in the semi-arid brush country. Key landmarks include the Retama Ranch and Santa Elena Ranch, along with scattered water sources like Middle Pasture Lake and Big Tank. An Old Railroad Grade cuts across the south-central portion of the map, indicating former transportation corridors that once linked this border region. For local historians and genealogists, the Tordillo Cem and various family-named sites such as Fieldings and Tiendas Windmill provide specific markers of mid-century habitation. The terrain is shaped by drainages like Tordillo Creek and Sombrerito Creek, which flow toward the Rio Grande.
