About this map

The town of Inez serves as the focal point of this coastal prairie landscape, situated near the boundary line separating Jackson and Victoria counties. In the mid-1990s, the area's development was defined by the intersection of the Southern Pacific railroad and local waterways like Arenosa Creek and Garcitas Creek. The presence of several family-named burial sites, including Bishoff Cem, Hirchhauser Cem, and Farrer Cem, suggests a long-standing agricultural and ranching heritage.

Beyond the residential core near Dincans Park, the land is marked by utility and resource extraction, evidenced by a Gravel Pit, a Radio Tower, and various Storage Bins. The map captures a transition where traditional land use meets modern infrastructure, shown through an extensive network of pipelines and a Gaging Sta along the creek beds. These features provide a clear view of how water management and energy transport shaped this portion of the Texas Gulf Coast plain.
