1968 Map of George West
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
George West serves as the hub of this Live Oak County landscape, situated where the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor meets the winding path of the Nueces River. The map illustrates a transition from the structured street grid of the town to the meandering river bottomlands and southern hills. To the east, the historic legacy of the area is anchored by the Old Gussettville Cem and Gussettville Cem, while further south near the river's bend, the Fort Merrill (Site) marks a strategic location from Texas's frontier era. The terrain is deeply etched by drainage features like Ramie Hollow, Little Gamble Gully, and Spring Creek. Settlement patterns reflect both historical roots in places like Mikeska and modern residential growth at River Creek Acres, alongside an active Oil Field and numerous Gravel Pits that suggest the region's mid-century economic drivers.
