1961 Map of Gillett

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The confluence of agricultural and industrial life in south-central Texas defines this landscape, where the Wilson and Karnes County line meets Gonzales County. Centered on the community of Gillett, the terrain is dominated by the winding path of Ecleto Creek and its many tributaries, including Elm Creek and Shockley Creek. This early 1960s survey illustrates a region shaped by petroleum development, specifically the Manford Gas Field and various resources like the Weinert Reservoir and several Flowing Wells. Small settlements like Pandora and El Negro Ranch anchor the rural landscape, connected by a network of roads and a Southern Pacific railroad line cutting across the northwest corner. Traces of local heritage are visible in small details, such as a lone Cemetery and the intricate fence lines that denote property boundaries in this productive ranching and drilling country.
