1956 Map of La Sal Vieja
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
La Sal Vieja dominates this portion of the Rio Grande Valley, where hypersaline waters and scattered depressions define the brushy landscape of South Texas. During the mid-1950s, this area at the intersection of Hidalgo, Kenedy, and Willacy Counties was characterized by a transition from traditional ranching to early energy extraction. The map documents numerous family-named landmarks and infrastructure essential for survival in this arid environment, including the San Leonardo Windmill, Juan Barrientos Windmill, and the Stillman Windmill.
