2010 Map of Saltillo Well

About this map

The arid ranchlands of Kenedy County are defined by a network of essential water sources in this 2010 survey of South Texas. Named windmills scattered across the landscape, including Borrego Windmill, Chicago Windmill, Salvador Windmill, and Mike Windmill, indicate the critical role of groundwater management for livestock and rural operations in this low-density region. To the east, the brackish waters of Cayo Soledad highlight the area's coastal-adjacent hydrology. The map reveals an intricate web of ranch roads and tracks that connect these remote outposts, reflecting a landscape where infrastructure is minimal and tied directly to the demands of large-scale cattle ranching and land stewardship.
