1961 Map of Gillett

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Ecleto Creek and Elm Creek wind through this South Texas landscape, defining a rural territory at the intersection of Wilson, Gonzales, and Karnes counties. The community of Gillett sits in the southeast corner, while the small settlement of Pandora occupies the northwest, linked by the Southern Pacific railroad line. The map captures a moment in the early 1960s when the cattle-ranching culture, exemplified by the El Negro Ranch, coexisted with the growing energy infrastructure of the Manford Gas Field. Numerous petroleum-related features, including a Pipeline, Gas Wells, and Flowing Wells, are scattered across the terrain. Water management is central to the area's utility, marked by the Weinert Reservoir and various water tanks. Local travel is facilitated by a network of unimproved roads and specialized routes like the Shockley Trail, providing access to isolated cemeteries and the Roadside Park along the primary highway.
