1964 Map of Derby

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The settlement of Derby sits at the intersection of water and rail in southern Frio County, where the Missouri Pacific railroad parallels the historic path of Route 81. This South Texas landscape is defined by the convergence of several major watercourses, including the Frio River, the Leona River, and Todos Santos Creek. The prevalence of water sources is further evidenced by a high density of windmills, many bearing family or descriptive names like Honeymoon Windmill, Jesse Windmill, and Zartuche Windmill, indicating a ranching economy reliant on groundwater extraction in the mid-20th century.
