1979 Map of Beeville East

About this map

Beeville serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, showing a landscape defined by the intersection of South Texas ranching country and military infrastructure. The town's historic core, marked by the central Courthouse, is flanked by several significant burial grounds including Evergreen Cem and St Joseph Cem. To the east, the sprawling Naval Air Station Chase Field dominates the terrain, featuring its own dedicated Golf Course and military facilities. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path through the countryside, passing the small settlement of Poesta and the Texas A&M University Agricultural Research Station. Drainage for the region is provided by Medio Creek and the meandering Poesta Creek, while numerous Gravel Pits suggest the area's ongoing extractive industry during this era.
