1963 Map of Linn NW

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Deep South Texas ranching and petroleum development define this mid-century landscape in Hidalgo County. The infrastructure of the Beaurline Gas Field and Los Indios Gas Field is mapped alongside an extensive network of named windmills and wells, which were vital for maintaining livestock in the semi-arid pastures. Major cattle operations like the Santa Fe Ranch and Los Indios Ranch dominate the topography, connected by the Southern Pacific railroad and a grid of access roads. The presence of specialized features such as Charco Largo Well and Palomas Well indicates the reliance on artesian water sources within the Tres Lagunas Pasture and San Juan Pasture. This survey captures the region during a period of transition, where traditional Spanish-named land grants and ranches like El Rastrillo Windmill integrated with modern energy extraction and utility corridors.
