About this map

Beeville anchors the eastern edge of this late 1970s survey, where the town's residential grid meets the industrial and agricultural landscape of Bee County. The Southern Pacific railroad runs parallel to the town's core, connecting local institutions like the County College, Jones High Sch, and Our Lady of Victory Sch. The presence of Our Lady of Victory Cemetery and Cementerio Evangelico reflects the cultural history of this South Texas community.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Poesta Creek and the extensive activity of the local energy and resource sectors. Scores of Oil Wells and Gravel Pits dot the countryside near the settlement of Orangedale. Smaller community landmarks like the Friendship Ch and a Drive-in Theater emphasize the rural-suburban character of the area during this period of development.
