About this map

The Nueces River winds through this South Texas landscape during the mid-1930s, defining a region characterized by large ranch holdings and a nascent oil and gas economy. The boundary between McMullen Co and Duval Co runs east-to-west across the southern portion of the map, where industrial development is most concentrated. At the Eagle Hill Settlement, the Magnolia Pump Sta and clusters of Oil Tanks indicate the importance of the Magnolia Pipeline and United Gas Pipeline networks to the local economy.
