About this map

The San Marcos River snakes through this landscape, defining the geographic character of the region just northwest of Luling. This area is shaped by a legacy of petroleum extraction, clearly visible through the extensive footprints of the Luling Oil Field, Spiller Oil Field, and Dunlap Oil Field. These industrial zones share the terrain with numerous family and community burial sites, including the Highsmith Cemeteries, Appling Cem, and Marines Cem, which provide significant touchstones for genealogical research.

Near the settlement of Stairtown, the map reveals a complex drainage network featuring Seals Cr and Wolf Cr. Infrastructure such as The Carter Memorial Airport and the Soil Conservation Service Site 38 Reservoir reflect modern land management and transportation needs in this part of Caldwell County, while older rural routes like Gander Slough Rd and Pooley Rd trace the historic movement across the river valley.
