1969 Map of Las Flores

About this map

Las Flores and the San Jose Ranch anchor this South Texas landscape during the late 1960s, a region defined by its reliance on water management and ranching infrastructure. The map illustrates a dense network of water tanks and windmills, which were critical for livestock in this semi-arid environment. Named features like the Caldwell Tank, Harry Tank, and the Bar-One Tank are scattered across the terrain, alongside family-named landmarks such as the Thompson Windmill and Ruiz Windmill.
