1964 Map of Biry

About this map

Taylor Ina Oil Field dominates the western landscape of this Medina County region, where industrial extraction and ranching intersect. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Hondo Creek, which flows south alongside a private Landing Strip and the Adams Ranch. This mid-century survey captures a rural Texas economy transitioning through resource development, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells scattered across the brushland. Small community anchors remain visible at Biry and Rackley, while the Mussman Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local family histories. Water remains the primary geographical marker, with the confluence of Live Oak Slough and Brier Branch feeding the larger creek systems that have shaped the settlement patterns of the area.
