1974 Map of Biel Lake South

About this map

Talvez Oil Field anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, illustrating the industrial energy footprint in Webb County during the mid-1970s. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages, most notably Black Creek and the long, winding Mesquitoso Creek, which flow toward Biel Lake in the north. This survey captures a rural Texas ranching environment where water management is central to the land's utility, marked by numerous small tanks and the La Volanta Windmill.
