About this map

The Bigfoot Field and Charlotte Oil Field dominate this 1968 Atascosa County landscape, showing a Texas interior defined by energy production and rural family legacies. Numerous Oil Wells are scattered across the terrain, interspersed with small settlements like Dobrowolski, Crown, and Amphion. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several family-named burial grounds including Rodriguez Cem, St Williams Cem, and Mendiola Cem, which reflect the area's deep-rooted ranching and farming heritage.

Waterways like La Parita Creek and Willow Creek cut through the oil-rich land, while smaller features such as Fern Hollow and Salt Branch provide natural landmarks. The intersection of industrial development and ancestral homesteads is visible throughout, providing a clear record of the region's mid-century rural character before further modern expansion changed the footprint of these small South Texas communities.
