2010 Map of Charlotte

About this map

Charlotte serves as the primary hub in this South Texas landscape, defined by a grid of rural roads and the local energy industry. The presence of the Charlotte Oil Field and the Oil Field Lease near Sierra Lease illustrates the importance of petroleum extraction to the local economy during this era. The terrain is etched by several prominent drainage systems, including Lagunillas Creek, La Parita Creek, and Macho Creek, which dictate the placement of ranch roads and property boundaries. To the east, the Marshall Dam creates Marshall Lake along Turkey Creek, providing a rare permanent water feature in a region characterized by ephemeral branches like Doak Branch and Bear Branch. This network of country roads, such as Burns-Eppright Rd and Bluntzer Rd, connects the outlying ranch lands back to the town center.
