About this map

North Buena Vista Colonia and Buena Vista Colonia anchor the northwest corner of this South Texas landscape, illustrating the distinctive residential settlement patterns common to the brushlands of the Rio Grande Plain. The area is defined by a sparse network of county roads and farm-to-market routes that connect scattered communities like Goldapp Colonia and Coyote Acres Colonia. The extraction economy is clearly visible through the presence of the Koopman Gas Field and Alice Oil Field, which punctuate the agricultural surroundings. The drainage of the region relies on a series of ephemeral watercourses, including San Andreas Creek, Trinidad Creek, and Javelina Creek, which carve subtle paths through the flat terrain toward the southeast. This survey captures a moment of modern rural development where residential colonias and energy infrastructure overlap.
