1982 Map of Live Oak Creek

About this map

Live Oak Creek and Los Olmos Creek define the drainage patterns of this South Texas landscape as it appeared in the early 1980s. Straddling the La Salle and Webb County line, the area is characterized by an extensive network of ephemeral water sources and cattle tanks, such as Buckley Tank, Gura Tank, and Mula Tank. This pattern of ranching infrastructure suggests a landscape focused on livestock, where water management was vital for survival in the arid Brush Country. An underground pipeline cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, indicating the integration of modern industrial utility within the traditional ranching territory. Other notable drainages include Tecolote Creek, Chucareto Creek, and Dolores Creek, which carve winding paths through the terrain, while an indefinite boundary reflects the complexities of local land surveys in this part of the state.
