1974 Map of Flying W Ranch
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The Nueces River winds through this South Texas landscape, marking a significant drainage corridor near the Dimmit Co La Salle Co boundary. The area is characterized by sparse ranching infrastructure and energy development, centered on properties like the Flying W Ranch and Riche Ranch. An earthen Landing Strip at the Riche Ranch and a network of Pipeline corridors and scattered Oil Wells illustrate the mid-1970s reliance on both aviation and petroleum in this remote corner of the brush country. Numerous seasonal waterways, including San Roque Creek, Sage Creek, and Mocho Creek, feed into the river, defining the local topography and historical grazing patterns of the region.
