1956 Map of San Pedro Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The San Pedro Ranch anchors this portion of Kenedy County, illustrating the vital infrastructure required for life and industry in the South Texas brush country during the mid-20th century. Water management is the defining characteristic of this landscape, as evidenced by a sophisticated network of wells and windmills. Named watering points like Potrero No 1 Well, Agua Dulce Well, and the Rodeo Windmill are scattered throughout, providing lifeblood to the cattle operations. The topography is dominated by extensive Shifting Sand Dunes, which are meticulously differentiated between active and stabilized formations. Long stretches of Fence lines cut across the terrain, marking property boundaries and grazing divisions. Localized sites such as Piedra Trap Windmill and San Antonio Windmill further highlight the specialized ranching structures that once served the large-scale holdings of the region.
