1972 Map of Cuevitas SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

El Javali Oil Field and the Marks Oil Field dominate this 1970s landscape where the borders of Jim Hogg, Starr, and Zapata counties converge. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of extractive industry, marked by numerous Drill Holes and a prominent Pipeline cutting through the brush country. Sparse signs of early ranching and habitation remain, such as the Guerra Windmill and a small Cem (cemetery), indicating the isolated nature of these South Texas borderlands during the early 1970s. Seasonal watercourses like San Juan Creek and Chico Creek meander toward the south, while the Indefinite Boundary suggests the shifting or unsurveyed nature of property and political lines in this remote portion of the Rio Grande plain.
