About this map

Carmine serves as the central hub of this South Texas landscape, where the borders of Lee, Washington, and Fayette counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Cedar Creek, Alum Creek, and Wolf Creek, which carve through a mix of woodland and agricultural clearings. Cultural life is anchored by numerous rural congregations such as St Matthew Missionary Ch and Independent Ch, alongside family landmarks like Homeymeyer Mtn.

Industrial activity is evident through the widespread distribution of Oil Wells and a significant Oil Field occupying the center of the sheet. For those tracing regional heritage, the map documents the path of the La Bahia Trail and the small community of La Bahia. Notable water management is shown at Schoenberg Lake and the Flood Prevention Dam No 7, while surveyors marked the area with a series of precise monuments, such as Mon 14.
