1932 Map of Valley Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

The Nueces River winds through this South Texas landscape, defining the topography of the Valley Wells quadrangle during the mid-1920s. This survey, published by the Board of Water Engineers and the U.S. Geological Survey, highlights a ranching economy centered around family-named outposts such as Rasmussen Ranch and Buckhorn Ranch. The presence of San Roque Lake and the drainage of San Roque Cr and Appurceon Creek indicate a region where water management was critical to the semi-arid environment. Infrastructure is concentrated in the northeast and south, with the Kings Missouri Pacific Highway and Big Wells Road providing the primary transit corridors through the brush country. Large sections of the sheet remain designated as a Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area, reflecting the transitional state of mapping efforts in Dimmit County at this time.
