2010 Map of Ghost Hill

About this map

Ghost Hill and the surrounding South Texas plains are defined by a network of ranch roads and seasonal watercourses that drain toward the Frio River basin. The landscape is characterized by intermittent drainage features such as San Francisco Perez Creek and Chacon Creek, which flow through a region deeply tied to the local petroleum industry as evidenced by the Bigfoot Oil Field. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Longview Cemetery and Moore Cemetery offers concrete points of reference for tracing family lineages in this part of Medina County. The map also reveals the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, including the Cox Reservoir and the transition from traditional routes like Old Hwy 81 to the modern interstate corridor. From the low-lying Moore Hollow to the creek crossings, the map preserves a specific moment of transition between agricultural tradition and energy extraction.
