1963 Map of Falfurrias

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The town of Falfurrias serves as the focal point of this South Texas landscape, where the town's street grid meets the Southern Pacific rail line. The map highlights a developed urban core featuring a Courthouse, Post Office, and educational facilities like the Central Ward Jr High Sch and a High School. Beyond the town center, the landscape is defined by a mix of heavy industry and sprawling ranch lands. The A Gloria Oil Field and Cage Gas Field signal the region's mid-century energy production, while numerous windmills are scattered across the brush country to support remote outposts like La Mota Ranch and Hollywood Camp. Water features such as La Hedionda Lake and the Palo Blanco Creek drainage cut through the terrain, which is also marked by shifting sand dunes to the south, illustrating the arid conditions of Brooks County.
