2013 Map of Gillett

About this map

Gillett sits at the southern edge of this Karnes County landscape, serving as a focal point for a rural network of county roads and creek drainages. The area is defined by the winding course of Ecleto Cr and Elm Cr, which feed into various small impoundments like Weinert Reservoir and Coates Estate Lake Number 1. This survey illustrates the ranching and energy infrastructure that characterizes the region, including the Manford Gas Field and the sprawling El Negro Ranch, which features its own namesake El Negro Ranch Lake. Transportation and logistics are represented by the small Bailey Airport in the northwest and a dense grid of local routes such as Prairie 2119 and Creek 283. The map documents a sparsely populated but active agricultural and industrial environment in South Texas.
