2019 Map of Norias

About this map

Norias is the central point of activity in this section of Kenedy County, positioned where the railroad corridor intersects the sparse network of ranch roads. The landscape is defined by extensive wetlands and ephemeral water bodies that dot the terrain between the sandy rises of the South Texas brush country. Settlement is minimal, centered primarily around the ranching operations near the tracks and the nearby Norias Cem. Local transportation relies on routes like Tobin Armstrong Rd and S Tullidos Rd, which navigate the complex drainage patterns and small basins that dominate the area's geography. This map offers a clear view of the relationship between industrial rail infrastructure and the vast, open rangelands of the coastal plain.
