About this map

The coastal plains of South Texas meet the gulf waters in this mid-1980s look at the region surrounding Beeville. This landscape is defined by the critical drainage systems of the Aransas River, Mission River, and Medio Creek that feed into the expansive Copano Bay. Along the coastline, the map documents the established community of Rockport and the nearby Goose Island State Park, providing a view of the coastal topography before modern expansion.

Further inland, the economy of the era is evidenced by significant energy infrastructure, including the Blanconia Oil Field and the Plymouth Oil and Gas Field. Military presence is anchored by the Chase Field Naval Air Station, while the Southern Pacific railroad lines connect inland settlements like Skidmore and Sinton. This survey also preserves the locations of rural landmarks such as St Paul Ch and numerous small cemeteries and schools that mark the region's genealogical history.
