1978 Map of Pintada

About this map

Pintada serves as the focal point of this 1978 Guadalupe County survey, situated near the banks of the Pintada Arroyo. The landscape is defined by its arid drainage patterns and ranching history, with the Old Pintada Cem and a second Cem providing important markers for genealogists and local historians tracing families in this high-desert region. To the north, the modern corridor of Interstate 40 cuts across the plains, featuring a Rest Area and the nearby York Ranch, illustrating the transition from traditional grazing lands to a cross-country transit route.
