1968 Map of Palomas Ranch SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Madrigueras Windmill and a network of water resources dot this South Texas landscape in Brooks County, captured during the late 1960s. The map reveals a ranching environment where life and industry centered on scattered water sources like Liescosa Well (Flowing) and Tres Puertas Well. The presence of Perez Cem suggests the deep-rooted family histories of the Palomas Ranch area, while the infrastructure of the era is represented by a Pipeline and several Oil Wells. Numerous named windmills, including San Cristobal Windmill, La Colcha Windmill, and Lindero Windmill, indicate the vital importance of groundwater for cattle in this scrubland. Small industrial sites like a Quarry and a Gravel Pit near Bult Hole show the local extraction of materials from the terrain.
