1979 Map of Kingsville West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

King Ranch and the expansive Stratton Oil Field dominate this South Texas landscape, illustrating the intersection of historic ranching and the petroleum industry in the late 1970s. The western edge of Kingsville is anchored by the campus of Texas A&I University, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with countless named windmills such as Arredondo Windmill and Mota Huisache Windmill, essential for water in this arid terrain. Drainage is defined by the winding paths of Tranquitas Creek and Santa Gertrudis Creek, which feed several small bodies of water including Tranquitas Lake and Tulosa Lake. The presence of Santo Gertrudis Memorial Cem and Chamberlain Cemetery provides clear reference points for genealogists. This survey reveals a working landscape where oil infrastructure, represented by the West Stratton Oil Field and the Stratton Pumping Station, coexists with traditional ranching grounds and local landmarks like the Race Track.
