About this map

Blackjack Peninsula forms the core of this mid-century survey, dominated by the sprawling acreage of the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is a complex mosaic of coastal wetlands and low-lying brush, dotted with numerous named water features including Tomas Pond and Big Tree Lake. This environment required a specific infrastructure for ranching and refuge management, evidenced by the distribution of named windmills such as Salado Windmill, Walker Windmill, and Toro Windmill scattered across the peninsula.
