1982 Map of Asherton
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Asherton anchors the eastern edge of this Dimmit County landscape, appearing here as a concentrated grid of streets and structures during the early 1980s. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dendritic network of ephemeral drainage systems, most notably Carrizo Creek, El Morrito Creek, and El Barrosa Creek. These watercourses carve through the brush country, illustrating the vital role of seasonal hydrology in this semi-arid region of South Texas. Evidence of local infrastructure and resource extraction is visible in the form of a Landing Strip and a Gravel Pit, reflecting the area's mid-century economic activities. The map captures a moment of transition between the ranching-dominated past and more modern industrial developments, documented through fieldwork conducted in 1976.
