1956 Map of Yturria

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The sprawling salt lake of La Sal Vieja dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking a distinct geographical transition in the South Texas brush country. As recorded in the 1950s with later revisions, the region is defined by a network of large ranching estates, including Garcia Ranch, Thomas Ranch, and Esperanza Ranch. Water management is central to life here, evidenced by the numerous specialized wells like Los Cedros Artesian Wells and Laguna Panda Windmill scattered across the terrain. Along the eastern edge, the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor serves the settlement of Yturria, anchoring the local transport economy. To the south, a more engineered landscape emerges with the West Main Drain, East Main Drain, and Spoil Banks, illustrating the extensive irrigation and drainage efforts required to maintain productivity in the Willacy County plains.
