About this map

The Tire Proving Ground dominates the central landscape of this South Texas survey, featuring a distinct circular track and an Observation Tower used for industrial testing in Webb County. The region's arid ranching character is evidenced by the numerous named water sources and windmills necessary for livestock, such as Macana Windmill, Tortuga Tank, and La Coma Windmill. Transportation and industry are concentrated along the western corridor, where the Missouri Pacific railroad runs parallel to U.S. 81.
