About this map

The Ganado Oil Field sits at the northern edge of this coastal prairie landscape, highlighting the industrial footprint of petroleum extraction in Jackson County during the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of West Carancahua Creek, Little Carancahua Creek, and Lunis Creek, which drain toward the Gulf. A network of rural roads, many bearing local family names like Kudelka Rd, Roman Vyvial Rd, and Grimes Rd, crisscrosses the quadrangle, reflecting a legacy of generational land ownership and agricultural use. The presence of W Ward Ranch Rd and various private routes like Pvt Rd 2301 underscores the transition between managed ranchland and the structured grid of regional farm-to-market roads like FM 1823.
