About this map

The Atascosa River and the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor anchor the rural landscape of Atascosa County in the mid-1960s. Small community hubs like Leming and Las Gallinas are mapped alongside isolated crossroads such as Loire and Verdi, reflecting the persistent agricultural and ranching settlement patterns of South Texas. The sheet is particularly notable for its family-named and community landmarks, including several small burial grounds like Brite Cem and Rodriguez Cem, which provide significant value for genealogical research.

Water drainage across the region is defined by a dense network of seasonal creeks, including Gallinas Creek, Lucas Creek, and Hollow Creek, which cut through the timber and pastures. The presence of a Pipeline and scattered Gravel Pits points to the local industrial activity and infrastructure supporting the county's economy. The map also delineates county boundaries where Atascosa meets Bexar and Wilson counties, capturing the intersection of these historic Texas jurisdictions.
