1956 Map of Rosita Lake NE

About this map

Shifting sand dunes and scattered water sources characterize this mid-century livestock landscape in South Texas. The map depicts a territory where survival and industry depend on scattered wells and windmills, including Colorado Windmill, San Jose Windmill, and the Huisachito Windmills. A network of private roads and extensive fences suggests a highly managed ranching environment. One of the most significant features for local history is a small site marked Graves located in the southwestern portion of the sheet, likely representing a private family burial ground on the ranch lands. The topography is dominated by large sand formations such as Shifting Sand Dunes, which rise above the brush and grass. Deep water access is noted at the Tecolote Artesian Well, while smaller features like Charco Nine Windmill and Moya Windmill serve the more remote reaches of this arid coastal plain.
