1965 Map of Gobbler Creek

About this map

Round Mott and Braman anchor this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating the agricultural and industrial character of the coastal prairies near the Wharton and Jackson County line. The map reveals an intricate drainage network defined by Gobbler Creek, West Mustang Creek, and Porters Creek, which weave through a terrain marked by numerous oil and gas wells, pipelines, and pumping stations. This infrastructure, coupled with the Southern Pacific railroad line in the north, speaks to the region's reliance on both resource extraction and heavy transport.
