About this map

Petronila Creek meanders through the heart of this Nueces County landscape, a region defined by its productive energy fields and rural crossroads. The extraction economy is central to the area's history, evidenced by the expansive Minnie Bock Oil Field, North Clara Driscoll Oil Field, and the Clara Driscoll Oil Field. These fields surround the small communities of Driscoll and Petronila, which serve as the primary anchors for the surrounding agricultural tracts.

A network of county roads organizes the terrain, connecting working sites like the Florida Gas Camp and Gandy Farms to the wider region. Educational and social services are represented by Coastal Bend Youth City west of the creek. For genealogists and local historians, Flinn Cemetery offers a tangible link to the families who established these rural settlements. The map illustrates a modern era of Texas industry where energy infrastructure and traditional farming intersect along the coastal plain.
