USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Water management defines this coastal South Texas landscape, where life centered on scattered wells and windmills among the sand and mud flats. The area is characterized by the expansive waters of Laguna Larga and the tidal reaches of Alazan Bay. Private ranch roads connect numerous named watering points such as Becerra Well, Palomas Well, and the Esperanza Artesian Well, reflecting the essential infrastructure required for cattle ranching in Kleberg County during the mid-20th century.
