1979 Map of Standart

About this map

Standart sits along the Southern Pacific rail line in this arid region of Kinney County, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainages of the Pinto Creek system. The map reveals an environment focused on water management and resource extraction during the late 1970s, evidenced by numerous wells and several drill holes scattered across the brushland. Natural water sources like Stricklin Spring provide vital points of interest in a terrain marked by the convergence of Little Perdido Creek, West Pinto Creek, and Cow Creek. Transportation is anchored by the rail corridor and U.S. Route 90, which features a dedicated Roadside Park for travelers. The presence of multiple gravel pits near the railway suggests local industrial activity supporting the infrastructure of this South Texas ranching country.
