About this map

Blanco Creek winds through the heart of this South Texas landscape, defining the county line between Bee and Goliad counties. The 1960s terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Medio Creek, Indian Creek, and Millers Creek, which cut through the undulating ranch lands. Local development is centered around the Lazy F Ranch, which includes a dedicated Landing Area for private aviation.

Industrial activity in the area is represented by the Dallas Husky Gas Field, featuring several active gas and oil wells and a network of pipelines. The Southern Pacific railroad clips the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, passing near gravel pits and providing a vital transport link for the region's ranching and extraction industries. Community landmarks like Colony Ch and various family-named water features like Live Oak Hollow provide valuable points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking rural settlement patterns in the mid-20th century.
