2013 Map of El Campo SE

About this map

Hillje Oil Field and the Radio Astronomical Observatory sit among the structured agricultural grid of Wharton County in this 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by its drainage and irrigation networks, where the Plainview Outflow Ditch manages water movement toward a series of natural waterways, including Little Carancahua Creek and East Carancahua Creek. This coastal prairie region exhibits a high degree of land management, with an extensive network of county roads such as Co RD-318 and Co RD-320 providing access to deep-field oil operations and rural aviation facilities like Smith Aviation Inc Airport. Local family-named routes and small tributaries like Moccasin Cr and Stage Stand Cr offer precise geographic anchors for genealogists and researchers tracking land use in the plains south of El Campo.
