1963 Map of Seeligson Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Premont Oil Field and the surrounding South Texas cattle country define this 1963 landscape along the border of Duval and Jim Wells Counties. The map reveals a highly specialized infrastructure designed for resource extraction and ranching, where numerous pipelines and a Pumping Sta intersect with large-scale holdings like Seeligson Ranch and Los Jaboncillos Ranch. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems and watering points essential for livestock, including Jaboncillos Creek and Salado Creek, alongside numerous named tanks and windmills like the Ochenta Windmill and Rincon Windmill. The presence of the Las Piparitas (Site) and a dedicated Landing Strip suggests the logistical complexity of managing these remote operations during the early 1960s. This survey provides a clear view of the regional transition from traditional grazing lands to an integrated energy-producing landscape.
