About this map

The Ganado Oil Field dominates the northern reaches of this Jackson County landscape, marking the industrial footprint of petroleum extraction in the coastal plains. This region is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and the winding paths of several waterways, including Little Carancahua Cr and W Carancahua Cr. The drainage patterns provided by these creeks and Lunis Cr shape the agricultural parcels that fill the spaces between local thoroughfares like Reyes Rd and Texaco Rd. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is evident in the transition from numbered county roads to state-maintained routes such as Farm-To-Market Road 1157, reflecting the area's continued reliance on a network designed to move energy and agricultural products from the fields to wider markets.
