1956 Map of El Jardin

About this map

Artesian wells and windmills define the remote ranching landscape along the border of Kenedy and Willacy Counties in the mid-1950s. This coastal plain environment, where water security was paramount, features a dense network of naming conventions tied to family and location, such as the San Francisco Artesian Well and the Buena Vista Windmill. The presence of the San Francisco Ranch (Site) and the Plan de Monterrey indicates the historical footprint of early Texas ranching operations before modern infrastructure reached these isolated sections.
