1956 Map of Pita Camp

About this map

Pita Camp serves as a central landmark in this 1956 topographical survey of the South Texas rangeland, situated along the Brooks and Kenedy County line. The landscape is defined by the vital necessity of water in an arid environment, evidenced by a dense network of windmills and artesian wells such as Puerta Bajita Artesian Well, Zacahuistle Windmill, and El Toron Artesian Well. These features reflect the mid-century ranching infrastructure required to sustain livestock across the sandy, brush-dotted terrain.
