1956 Map of Saltillo Well

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Norias Headquarters King Ranch serves as the central focal point of this arid South Texas landscape during the mid-1950s. The map illustrates a vast ranching infrastructure dependent on a network of named water sources across the sandy terrain, including the Chicago Windmill, Salvador Windmill, and Borrego Windmill. These scattered wells and windmills are vital lifelines in a region where surface water is scarce, save for features like Cayo Soledad. The presence of the Norias Sch and a Silo near the headquarters suggests a self-contained community structured around the operations of the King Ranch. Remote outposts such as San Ignacio Artesian Well and La Fortuna Artesian Well mark the expansive reach of the pastoral economy. Transportation and logistics are represented by a private Airstrip (Private), highlighting the scale and necessity of aerial access for managing such a significant landholding.
