1979 Map of La Paloma Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

La Paloma Ranch serves as the namesake hub for this corner of the South Texas brush country, where the landscape is defined by the vital infrastructure of cattle ranching and early petroleum exploration. The map reveals a high density of named water-pumping sites, ranging from the Muchos Hombres Windmill to the Encino Mucho Windmill, illustrating the intensive management of this semi-arid environment. These water sources are scattered across a terrain drained by Los Olmos Creek and Palo Blanco Creek, which meander through the scrub. The presence of a Gas Well and Drill Hole alongside the traditional windmills marks the era's transition toward sub-surface resource extraction. The map also delineates the convergence of three county lines, showing where Brooks Co, Kleberg Co, and Kenedy Co meet in a complex web of land boundaries and fence lines.
