1956 Map of San Pedro Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

San Pedro Ranch anchors this portion of Kenedy County, where life and livestock depended entirely on a network of water infrastructure across an arid landscape. The terrain is dominated by vast fields of Shifting Sand Dunes, some reaching elevations of seventy-four feet, which dictates the layout of the cattle industry here. The map reveals the critical importance of groundwater, with dozens of named water sources scattered across the dunes, from the Potrero No 1 Artesian Well to the San Francisco Windmill.
