2010 Map of Fashing

About this map

Fashing serves as the focal point for this South Texas rural landscape, where the local economy and geography are defined by a mix of ranching and energy extraction. The map highlights the extensive energy infrastructure of the region, including the Fashing Edwards Gas Field and the Weigang Oil Field. These industrial sites sit amidst a drainage network of creeks, such as Water Creek, Lipan Creek, and Tordillo Creek, which cut through the undulating terrain of the Tordillo Hills. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Brister Cemetery and Fashing Cemetery provide vital points of connection to the area's early families. The road network, including Oil People Rd and various Farm to Market roads, illustrates how petroleum interests shaped the development of transport routes across these coastal plains.
