1969 Map of Clegg SW

About this map

The Campana Oil Field and Labbe Oil Field dominate this 1968 landscape, where an extensive network of pipelines and wells defines the South Texas scrubland. Spanning the boundary of McMullen and Duval Counties, the terrain is marked by seasonal watercourses like Cow Creek and Lagarto Creek that wind between the Devils Waterhole Hills and Waterhole Hills. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Campos Cem and another unidentified Cem suggests small family or community burial grounds maintained amidst the industrial energy infrastructure. The map also records numerous landmarks vital for ranching and navigation in this arid environment, including the Rincon Windmill, Soda Windmill, and Windmill No 6. These features, alongside named sites like Jug Tank and Jug Well, reflect the dual nature of a region balancing traditional land use with the mid-century oil boom.
