1961 Map of Coy City

About this map

Coy City sits at the heart of this South Texas landscape, where the borders of Karnes, Atascosa, and Live Oak counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including the prominent Escondido Creek and Weedy Creek, which carve a series of hollows across the brush country. The mid-century development of the region is evident in the presence of an extensive Pipeline network and several resource extraction sites like the Sludge Pit, Oil Well, and various Quarries. A notable Landing Strip south of the main settlement suggests the importance of aerial access in this rural area. Smaller communities such as Fashing appear on the western edge, connected by unimproved roads that trace the natural contours of Javancho Hollow and Mexican Hollow. This survey captures the transition of the South Texas plains into a managed industrial and agricultural landscape prior to further modern expansion.
