1964 Map of Ghost Hill

About this map

The Medina Co Frio Co line cuts through this South Texas landscape, where the Missouri Pacific railroad runs parallel to a series of gravel operations and industrial sites. The topography is defined by the namesake Ghost Hill and an extensive network of waterways, including San Miguel Creek and Black Creek, which drain toward the south. This area demonstrates a mid-century energy economy, anchored by the Big Foot Oil Field and the Big Foot Gas Field in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
