1956 Map of Norias

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Norias stands as a focal point in this south Texas landscape, centered around a stop on the Missouri Pacific railroad. This 1956 survey, updated with 1980s data, illustrates a territory defined by deep ranching roots and the essential management of water. The map is exceptionally dense with named artesian wells, reflecting the critical infrastructure required for cattle and homesteads in Kenedy County. Named locations like the Rodeo Artesian Well, Lola Artesian Well, and Banderitas Artesian Well trace a network of family and ranching heritage across the terrain. Near the settlement, the Norias Cemetery and a Beacon provide landmarks for local history, while numerous fence lines and private roads delineate the boundaries of large landholdings such as the Norias Moors King Ranch.
