2010 Map of Francitas NE

About this map

Industrial energy production and coastal hydrology define this corner of Matagorda County. The landscape is marked by the presence of the Little Kentucky Oil Field, North Francitas Oil Field, and Midfield Oil Field, illustrating the area's continued reliance on oil extraction. These fields are situated within a drainage network shaped by East Carancahua Creek, Lunis Creek, and Moccasin Creek, which flow through the coastal plain toward the Gulf. Agricultural and water management infrastructure is evident near Reservoir Number 4 Dam, while a rigid grid of rural routes like Lincoln Ave and FM 3086 organizes the territory. This 2010 survey reflects a period where traditional energy industries and managed water resources remained the primary drivers of land use in this sparsely populated Texas region.
