1972 Map of Las Islas Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Las Islas Ranch serves as the focal point for this Starr County landscape, where the distribution of water sources dictates the pattern of settlement and activity. Recorded in the early 1970s, the terrain is defined by an extensive network of windmills and wells, reflecting the ranching infrastructure necessary for survival in this arid South Texas environment. Named landmarks like Brazil Windmill, Borrego Windmill, and San Luis Windmill provide a look at local geography shaped by family and place names. A solitary Grave and various bench marks such as BM 502 suggest the quiet human history etched into the land. Transportation is sparse, marked primarily by unimproved roads and a dedicated Landing Strip, while numerous Drill Holes indicate subsurface exploration occurring alongside traditional livestock operations.
