1968 Map of Benavides NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Guerra Cem and Tinney Piedras Pintas Cem stand as quiet landmarks within this rural Duval County landscape, reflecting the local family history of the South Texas brush country. The area is defined by the ephemeral flow of Piedras Pintas Creek and Narciseno Creek, which cut through the undulating terrain. Industrial development is marked by an extensive network of pipelines and the established Texas Mexican Oil Field to the southeast. Transport history is visible along the Old Railroad Grade, tracing a path near several Salt Water Wells. This 1968 field-checked survey captures the transition of the land from traditional ranching toward increased energy extraction, while still retaining the names of the early settlers who established the region's small family cemeteries.
