1969 Map of Hindes

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The low-lying plains of South Texas, where the corners of Frio, Atascosa, La Salle, and McMullen Counties converge, are defined by an intricate drainage system feeding into San Miguel Creek. This late 1960s landscape shows the transition from ranching to petroleum extraction, evidenced by various Oil Wells and Drill Holes scattered across the terrain. The small community of Hindes sits along an Old Railroad Grade, illustrating how former transit corridors shaped local settlement patterns. Several intermittent watercourses, including Mustang Creek and Raccoon Creek, carve through the scrubland toward the main valley. Genealogists and local historians will find the named R L Ranch and the settlement at Orelia useful for identifying family lands and rural hubs as they existed during this era of Texas ranching history.
