About this map

Agua Dulce Oil and Gas Field dominates the industrial character of this landscape in the late 1970s. This territory, situated at the intersection of Jim Wells, Nueces, and Kleberg counties, is defined by an extensive network of extraction infrastructure including numerous Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and complex systems of pipelines. The map captures a transition between heavy energy production and traditional ranching or agriculture, evidenced by several family-named or ranch landmarks such as Magnolia Windmill, Gato Windmill, and Morgan Windmill. Waterways like San Fernando Creek and Pintas Creek wind through the terrain, providing natural drainage amidst a grid of access roads and industrial sites including a Refinery and a Pumping Sta. The proximity of county boundaries suggests a region where local governance and land use were heavily influenced by the sub-surface resources and the infrastructure required to transport them.
