1963 Map of Choate

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The San Antonio River meanders across this South Texas landscape, defining a region where early ranching roots met the mid-century energy boom. Near the settlement of Choate, the Choate Cem serves as a focal point for genealogical research in this rural corridor of Karnes County. The terrain is marked by a significant industrial footprint, including the Cabeza Creek Refinery and several extensive petroleum operations such as the Porter Oil Field and the Runge Oil Field. Numerous waterways, including Agua de Ojo Creek and Hondo Creek, feed into the river basin, while the presence of a Radio Tower and Substation indicate the modern infrastructure supporting the surrounding oil fields. Photogrammetric revisions from the early 1980s highlight changing woodland patterns against the established network of county roads and gravel pits.
