About this map

The Bigfoot and Kyote communities sit at the junction of Frio, Medina, and Atascosa counties, defining a landscape shaped by petroleum discovery and ranching. In the early 1960s, this region was characterized by established production zones including the Big Foot Oil Field, Bear Creek Oil Field, and Kyote Oil Field. The map records numerous family-named landmarks essential for genealogical research, such as Moore Cem, Griffin Cem, and Brummett Cem.

Drainage patterns across the brush country are marked by seasonal waterways like Siestedero Creek and Live Oak Creek, while the Sand Branch Ch serves as a local landmark. Fine red dashed lines throughout the survey indicate selected fence lines, reflecting the rural property divisions of the era. This document preserves the spatial arrangement of a South Texas oil and ranching district before later modern developments altered the local road and well networks.
