1964 Map of Sonora SE

About this map

Ranching estates and rural infrastructure define this portion of the Texas Edwards Plateau during the mid-1960s. The landscape is characterized by prominent family-named holdings such as Keene Ranch, Miers Ranch, and the Allison Ranch, which are interspersed among the winding topography of a large Draw. The map documents a transition in local transportation and utility networks, showing a significant Old Railroad Grade and several modern pipelines traversing the terrain. Flood control and water management are evident through markers like Site No 11 and Site No 12, which include specific spillway elevations. A Roadside Park along the primary highway suggests the area's role as a transit corridor for travelers crossing the Sutton County ranchlands.
