1963 Map of Ander

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Cattle ranching and petroleum extraction define the landscape of south Texas in this early 1960s survey, where the borders of Victoria, Goliad, and De Witt counties converge. Small agricultural settlements like Ander and Weser anchor a terrain crisscrossed by fences and pipelines, reflecting the industrial expansion of the Mission Valley West Gas Field and the Meyersville Gas Field. The map records several family and community burial grounds, including San Jose Cem and the Danforth Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. An intricate network of drainages such as Eighteenmile Creek and Fifteenmile Creek wind through the acreage, punctuated by numerous gravel pits that speak to the region's resource-based economy during this era of post-war development.
