1963 Map of San Tomas Camp

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Encino Ranch and the eponymous San Tomas Camp anchor this 1963 survey of South Texas rangeland, characterized by a massive network of fenced pastures and water infrastructure. The landscape is a complex grid of grazing divisions like Los Muertos Pasture and Viboras Pasture, separated by Lucero Trap and Botella Trap zones. A vital system of windmills, including Encino Viejo Windmill, Guerritas Windmill, and Leoncitas Windmill, highlights the critical role of groundwater in sustaining life across this arid terrain. Topographical features such as Quiteria Hill overlook Quiteria Lake and the marshy edges of Laguna Salada, while numerous pumping stations and pipelines indicate a mid-century transition toward more industrial water management alongside traditional ranching practices.
