1968 Map of Goldfinch

About this map

Goldfinch and the surrounding South Texas brush country appear here during a period of active petroleum development along the border of Frio and Atascosa counties. The landscape is defined by the extensive Charlotte Oil Field and West Charlotte Oil Field, where numerous well sites dot the terrain between the Marshall Hills and Chiltipin Creek. While the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and the Luna Cem point to the area's earlier agricultural and transit history, the 1980s-era revisions highlight evolving infrastructure like the Landing Strip near the northern boundary. Small settlements like Davis remain connected by a network of light-duty roads, while the natural drainage of West Clear Creek and Liveoak Creek continues to shape the low-lying sections of this rural energy-producing corridor.
