About this map

Campbellton and McCoy anchor this Atascosa County landscape in the late 1960s, a region defined by the meandering Atascosa River and its numerous tributaries. The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a straight diagonal through the terrain, paralleling a major Pipeline that underscores the area's industrial infrastructure. This survey captures a moment when traditional ranching and rural life intersected with resource extraction, evidenced by scattered Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit near the northern reaches of Buckhorn Creek.

Water management is central to the area's layout, featuring several named watering holes such as Goose Lake and Big Lake, along with multiple locations marked as Flowing Well. For those researching local history, the Campbellton Cem provides a specific point of genealogical interest near the southern settlement, while the presence of a Landing Strip and varied creek systems like Metate Creek and Lipan Creek illustrate the diverse utility of the south Texas brush country.
