1972 Map of Santa Elena NW

About this map

Hydrological infrastructure dominates this South Texas landscape, where life and livestock depended on a network of named wells and windmills in the early 1970s. The border between Jim Hogg Co and Brooks Co bisects the terrain, which is primarily characterized by rangeland and brush-country management. Names like Bonita Well and Alto Bonito Well indicate artesian water sources, while the proliferation of windmills such as Posita Windmill, Mama Windmill, and El Jardin Windmill reveal the localized nature of ranching operations.
