1956 Map of Rosita Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The arid landscape of Kenedy County is defined by its vital water infrastructure in this mid-century survey. Named wells and windmills, such as Burro Pinto Artesian Well and Caldero Artesian Well, are the primary markers of human presence in this region. The namesake Rosita Lake and the nearby Rosita Artesian Well stand as focal points in a terrain otherwise occupied by ranching boundaries and a single Pipeline. Numerous family-named and descriptive landmarks, including Mackin Windmill, Chiltipin Windmill, and El Alazan Windmill, illustrate the scattered settlement pattern essential for livestock operations. A solitary industrial feature, a Sludge Pit, appears near the southern edge, contrasting with the agrarian network of fences and windmills that stretch across the quadrangle.
