About this map

George West serves as the primary hub of this 1968 landscape, situated at the junction of major roads and the Missouri Pacific railroad. The town is marked by local civic landmarks like the High Sch, Water Tank, and St George Cem. The winding Nueces River dominates the central terrain, creating a complex series of bends that define the boundaries of River Creek Acres and the smaller settlement of Mikeska.

South along the river, researchers can find the historical Fort Merrill (Site) and the Gussettville Cem, alongside the Old Gussettville Cem. The landscape reflects a mix of agriculture and industry, with several Gravel Pit sites and a prominent Gas Plant near the headwaters of Harris Creek. Topographic features such as Ramie Hollow and Gamble Gully cut through the brush country, illustrating the natural drainage patterns into the Nueces basin during the late 1960s.
