2010 Map of Bullshead Creek

About this map

Bullshead Creek and Papalote Creek define the drainage of this coastal plain landscape in San Patricio County, where the terrain is marked by subtle shifts like Dale Hollow and McFall Draw. The map reveals a highly structured grid of rural roads, including Co RD 511 and FM 888, which support an agricultural economy dependent on the seasonal flow of waterways like Aquilla Creek and Ratta Creek. This 2010 survey reflects a period of established land use, where property boundaries and farm-to-market access are clearly delineated. Genealogists and local historians can trace the network of ranch roads and township connections that link this sparsely settled area to the larger regional hubs. The intersection of many named county roads, such as Co RD 527 and Co RD 520, illustrates the modern infrastructure layered over the historical natural paths and creek crossings.
