1972 Map of La Gloria SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

El Negro Ranch and a sparse network of ranching infrastructure define this corner of South Texas during the early 1970s. The landscape is marked by the vital necessity of water in a semi-arid environment, shown through numerous landmarks such as the Borrachito Windmill, Benedito Windmill, and the Charco del Rucio Tank. These named water sources, alongside Sad Ignacio Windmill No 1, reveal the localized cattle-ranching economy that persisted even as industrial interests moved into the area.
