About this map

Mineral and its surrounding ranchlands are defined by an extensive network of energy extraction sites across Bee County. This landscape is dotted with significant petroleum infrastructure, including the Plummer Oil Field, Cannan Oil Field, and the Mineral Gas Field. These industrial features are woven into a rural fabric where local travel relies on routes like FM 673 and the Mineral Cemetery Rd.

Drainage across this coastal plain is provided by San Domingo Creek, Toro Creek, and Salt Branch, which meander between the various production fields. For genealogists and local historians, the Mineral Cemetery serves as a central landmark for the community, while the Meyer Ranch Airport reflects the integration of private aviation into the region's ranching and industrial operations. The map provides a clear picture of how energy production and traditional land use coexist in this part of South Texas.
