1972 Map of La Gloria

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

North Sun Oil Field and Strong Oil Field define the industrial landscape of this South Texas region, where petroleum infrastructure intersects with longstanding ranching tracts. The settlement of La Gloria serves as a local hub, featuring a Refinery and proximity to a Landing Strip. The map reveals a pattern of dispersed rural communities and family-named locales, including Santa Anna, Santa Catarina, and Robberson, alongside the Diamond O Ranch. For those researching regional genealogy, several burial sites are documented across the brushland, such as Tangue Allegre Cem, San Jose Cem, Santa Maria Cem, and Coyote Cem. The map's extensive network of pipelines, Oil Wells, and Pumping Stations underscores the economic transition of the early 1970s, as traditional ranching shared the land with an expanding energy sector.
