1969 Map of Ramirez

About this map

Ramirez and Sejita anchor this late-1960s landscape, where the agricultural traditions of South Texas intersect with industrial expansion. The map detail reveals an economy defined by cattle ranching and energy extraction, centered on the Sejita Oil Field. Numerous family-named windmills, such as Noria Buena Windmill, Bobbies Windmill, and Faustino Windmill, are scattered across the brushland, marking vital water sources for local livestock. The drainage patterns of Cibolo Creek and Laborcitas Creek carve through the terrain, while the southern border tracks the boundary between Duval Co and Brooks Co. Infrastructure related to the region's petroleum industry is prominent, featuring a Gas Plant, a high-standing Stack, and various gas wells. Genealogists will find local history preserved at the Ramos Cem and Ramirez Cem, which remain as permanent markers of the area's early settlement families.
