1974 Map of Caiman Creek SE

About this map

The Nueces River winds through the northeastern corner of this South Texas landscape, where the local economy in the mid-1970s was defined by ranching and energy extraction. The terrain is marked by distinctive brush-country features like Monte Cortado and the lowlands of Magueyitos, which slope toward Los Olmos Creek. The presence of a Landing Strip, a series of pipelines, and an Oil Well highlights the region's industrial utility, while local landmarks such as Storage Bins and a Water Tank indicate the infrastructure necessary for managing stock and resources in an arid environment. An Indefinite Boundary runs through the center of the sheet, reflecting the shifting administrative or property lines in the open country between the La Salle and Webb county border.
