1952 Map of Yarborough Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The remote South Texas coastline is defined here by the meeting of the Penascal Rincon and the expansive waters of Laguna Madre. This 1952 survey documents a landscape where survival depended on deep water access, as evidenced by the numerous named wells scattered across the mainland, including Picacho Nuevos Artesian Well and Richards Artesian Well. These artesian sources supported isolated coastal outposts like Carnestolendas Ranch and Mota Negra in an era before widespread modern infrastructure reached this part of Kenedy County.
