1963 Map of Midway

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The settlement of Midway anchors this landscape in the early 1960s, situated at the crossroads of ranching and oil extraction on the border of Live Oak and Jim Wells counties. This region is characterized by its network of ephemeral drainages, where Lagarto Creek and Penitas Creek cut through the South Texas brush country. The map illustrates a landscape of large-scale landholdings and energy development, marked by the extensive Hinnant Oil Field and Stehle Oil Field. Individual family legacies are visible through named landmarks like the Penitas Ranch and localized landmarks such as the Foster Windmill and Longoria Windmill. These features, along with scattered quarries and drill holes, reflect the dual economy of petroleum exploration and livestock production that defined rural South Texas life during this era.
