About this map

Jourdanton serves as the focal point of this Atascosa County landscape, showing the town's grid during a period of significant petroleum production. The extensive Jourdanton Oil Field dominates the southern portion of the map, marked by numerous Oil Wells, a Gas Plant, and a complex network of pipelines. This industrial activity is contrasted by the natural drainage systems of the Atascosa River and its tributaries, including Salt Branch and Goose Creek.

Evidence of the area's earlier development is visible in the Old Railroad Grade cutting diagonally across the terrain, while local community life is anchored by landmarks like Mercy Hospital, a Roadside Park, and the Hilburn Cem. The town's residential character is detailed through street labels such as Anderson Ave, Maple, and Willow, providing a clear view of the settlement just before the final decades of the 20th century.
