About this map

The intersection of Hebbronville and Falfurrias anchors this South Texas landscape during the mid-1980s, revealing a region defined by extensive ranchlands and active petroleum extraction. The map details the complex web of oil production across several counties, most notably within the Tijerina Canales Blucher Oil Field and the Premont Oil Field. These industrial sites sit alongside established cattle country settlements like Realitos, Bruni, and Oilton.

A network of seasonal waterways, including Arroyo Palo Blanco and Laborcitas Creek, carves through the terrain, draining toward Laguna Salada in the southeast. Smaller communities such as Sejita and Concepcion highlight the sparse but deliberate settlement patterns of the Brush Country. The survey captures the exact boundaries where Jim Hogg, Brooks, and Duval counties meet, providing a clear record of land use and property divisions in this ranching heartland.
