About this map

The San Antonio River snakes through this Goliad County landscape, defining a rural corridor where cattle ranching and energy extraction exist side by side. Small clusters of habitation and named estates like Irby Ranch and Dial Ranch are connected by a network of farm roads and private lanes, including Irby Rd and Newton-Powell Rd. The map documents the local energy economy through the Charco Southeast Gas Field and Albrecht Gas Field, which dot the northern half of the quadrangle.

For those researching family history in south-central Texas, this survey provides the precise locations of the John Pettus Cemetery near the center of the sheet and the San Jasinto Cemetery further south near Riverdale. These markers, along with the settlement of Charco and the crossroads at Angel City, offer a detailed look at the community infrastructure in a region shaped by intermittent waterways like Charco Creek and Cabeza Creek.
