About this map

The San Antonio River snakes across the southern portion of this landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and riparian features including Horseshoe Lake and Hensley Lake. This section of Goliad County is characterized by a mix of agricultural pastureland and active petroleum extraction, evidenced by the Matze Oil Field and Alkek Oil Field. The small settlement of Scurlock sits near the center of the sheet, serving as a local point of reference within a grid of country roads and family-named lanes like Pesek Ln and Danforth Rd.

For those tracing family history or land use, the map identifies local burial sites such as Sepenter Cem and Fannin Cem. Numerous drainages, including Manahuilla Cr, Perdido Cr, and Alligator Cr, carve through the terrain, supporting local ranching operations marked by landmarks like the Mulley Windmill. The infrastructure reflects a rural economy balanced between traditional water-source dependency and modern energy development.
