1943 Map of Standart

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Large cattle ranches and the Southern Pacific rail line define this landscape in the early 1940s, situated on the border of Val Verde and Kinney counties. The settlement of Standart serves as a central hub near the Wardlaw Bros Ranch, where the Memorial Highway parallels the iron rails. This semiarid terrain is etched by seasonal drainage systems like Sycamore Creek and Pinto Creek, which are supplemented by vital water sources such as Stricklin Spr and various tanks. The presence of the Mud Creek Sch and small rail-side locations like Amanda suggests a sparsely populated but organized rural society dependent on livestock and the railroad. Genealogists can trace numerous family-named holdings across the quadrangle, including the Prosser-Walker Ranch, Belcher Ranch, and Whitehead-Wardlaw Ranch.
