1965 Map of Nido Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Nido Ranch and its surrounding South Texas landscape are defined by a sophisticated network of water management features essential for cattle operations in Webb County. The terrain is marked by numerous man-made reservoirs and wells, including Nido Tank, Huisachosa Tank, and Guajillo Tank, which capture runoff from seasonal drainages like Tejones Creek and Tordillo Creek. These water sources, often paired with wind-driven pumps such as the Pratt Windmill and El Siete Windmill, supported the scattered ranching outposts of Fresno Ranch and San Juan Ranch. A prominent Landing Strip near the headwaters of Arroyo Blanco indicates the importance of aerial access in managing these remote holdings during the mid-1960s. The presence of Gravel Pits and the South Windmill Drill Hole further reflects the localized extraction and exploration occurring alongside traditional ranching during this period.
