1972 Map of Las Escobas Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Las Escobas Ranch sits at the heart of this South Texas cattle and oil landscape, straddling the boundary between Zapata and Starr Counties. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems including Las Escobas and Del Puerto Creek, where the land is dotted with oil wells and essential water infrastructure like the Paleta Windmill. For local historians and genealogists, the presence of isolated burial grounds such as Buena Vista, Uña de Gato, and Agua Dulce cemeteries provides a window into the family heritage of this brush country. The map illustrates a working landscape where industrial pipelines intersect with traditional ranching outposts, reflecting the dual economy of the Rio Grande Valley hinterlands in the early 1970s.
