1972 Map of Tacubaya

About this map

Tacubaya and its surrounding ranchlands reveal a landscape shaped by the hunt for water and oil in the early 1970s. The region is dotted with numerous family-named landmarks and infrastructure, from the Mala Suerte Windmill to the Leon Cito Windmill, illustrating the vital importance of groundwater in this part of South Texas. Settled outposts like Alta Mesa Camp and the Alto Colorado Ranch are connected by a network of unimproved roads and a dedicated Landing Strip, supporting both cattle operations and the industrial presence of the Alta Mesa Oil Field.
