About this map

The south Texas rangelands in the early 1970s are defined here by a network of water-drawing infrastructure and energy development. This arid landscape, centered where the borders of Brooks, Starr, and Hidalgo counties converge, relies heavily on landmarks like Pita Windmill, Registre Windmill, and Juarez Well to sustain local ranching operations. The terrain is notably marked by Vargas Creek and the low elevations of Las Montas, while the subterranean economy is evident through numerous Oil Wells and a Gas Plant.
