1968 Map of Christine West

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Jourdanton Oil Field dominates the northwest corner of this Atascosa County landscape, reflecting the heavy industrial presence of petroleum extraction in the late 1960s. Numerous Oil Wells, a Drill Hole, and a prominent Pipeline network crisscross the terrain, showing the infrastructure of the energy economy. In the southeast, the town of Christine serves as a small population hub, bordered by a Cem and the winding course of Turkey Creek. The area is characterized by several intermittent waterways, including La Parita Creek and Goose Creek, which cut through the ranchland and oil fields. Near the settlement of La Parita, the map identifies Gravel Pits, pointing to local resource extraction beyond oil. This survey, based on 1967 photography, documents the specific intersections of rural South Texas life and the mineral wealth that reshaped its geography.
