About this map

The San Salvador Field gas production area dominates this mid-century landscape in the Rio Grande Valley, where energy extraction and irrigation infrastructure define the terrain. The small community of Hargill serves as a focal point, situated at the junction of the Missouri Pacific railroad and a network of elevated water channels. Notable irrigation features like Hargill Reservoir and an extensive Aqueduct system illustrate the region's managed agricultural environment.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in several family and community sites, including Hargill Cem, Cibilo Cem, and Cavazos Cem. Significant land uses are visible throughout the quadrangle, from the large La Coma Ranch to the inactive Moore Air Force Base Aux Field No 2 and a local Quarry. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and multiple pipelines suggests a landscape in transition as rail-side commerce shifted toward industrial gas processing at sites like the Gas Plant.
