About this map

The Atascosa River carves a winding path through this south Texas landscape, defining a terrain shaped by both water and industry. During this late 1960s survey, the Missouri Pacific railroad serves as a primary north-south corridor, passing through the settlement of McCoy and traversing the rural stretches of Atascosa County. The area is dotted with evidence of natural resources and infrastructure, from a Gravel Pit and scattered Oil Wells to the utility lines marked as Pipeline.

Water remains a central feature of the local geography, with numerous named tributaries like Liveoak Creek, Buckhorn Creek, and Borrego Creek feeding into the main river valley. Low-lying areas such as Goose Lake and Big Lake punctuate the brushy plains. Genealogists may find interest in the documented burial sites, including Campbellton Cem and a smaller nameless Cem, which anchor the local history of these ranching and oil-producing lands.
