About this map

Concordia serves as a small hub in this South Texas coastal plain landscape, situated just north of the Nueces Co Kleberg Co boundary. The 1969 topography reveals an environment defined by ranching and resource extraction, where life revolves around the water supplied by scattered family-named landmarks like Mota Redonda Windmill and Palma Windmill. To the west, Oil Wells indicate the region's industrial footprint, while the St Paul Cem stands as a quiet marker of the local settlement's history.

Petronila Creek meanders through the northeastern corner, providing a stark contrast to the straight-line geometry of the extensive Pipeline network that traverses the terrain. This survey illustrates the transition of the Nueces County ranchlands into an era of modern utility, where traditional windmills like Algivares Windmill and Noria Bee Windmill coexist with the infrastructure of the energy industry.
