1952 Map of La Parra Ranch SE

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Shifting Sand Dunes dominate this stretch of Kenedy County, where water is the primary resource for life and industry. Originally mapped by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1950 and updated with 1975 aerial photography, the landscape is defined by its scattered ranching infrastructure and reliance on subterranean water. Locations like Los Indios Ranch and Santa Elena Trap serve as focal points for local ranching operations. The area is dotted with numerous vital water sources, ranging from the Aguion Well (Windmill) and Chaparral Windmill to deeper taps like the Sarita Artesian Well and Ramirez Artesian Well. The presence of a Pipeline cutting through the dunes indicates the mid-century industrial expansion into this sparsely populated region, while family-named sites like San Juan Artesian Well provide valuable leads for genealogists tracing local land use.
