1954 Map of La Parra Ranch SW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Shifting sand dunes dominate this Kenedy County landscape, where survival and industry depend entirely on subsurface water and mineral rights. The 1954 topography reveals a network of fences and private roads connecting scattered water sources like the Mota Redonda Artesian Well and Martin Trap Windmill. These points represent critical infrastructure for ranching operations at Padre Juanito Trap and Mabana Trap, providing necessary water in an arid environment defined by moving dunes.
