USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Hacienda de la Tordilla and a network of family-named ranch lands define this South Texas landscape during a period of transition between World War II and the mid-1950s. The map captures a sprawling rural economy where large holdings like Adams Ranch and Rutledge Ranch are interspersed with essential community infrastructure, including four distinct rural education centers: North School, Midway School, Brannen School, and Oakwood School.
