1956 Map of Norias

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Deep within the coastal plains of Kenedy County, the Norias settlement serves as a vital point of habitation along the Missouri Pacific railroad. This 1950s survey reveals a landscape where survival and ranching depend heavily on subterranean water, evidenced by a dense network of family-named water sources such as the Rodeo Artesian Well, Botero Artesian Well, and Lorenzo Artesian Well. The geography is defined by undulating shifting sand dunes 10-15 feet high, which dictate the placement of fences and private ranch roads across the terrain.
