1963 Map of Mineral

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The settlement of Mineral serves as the focal point of this South Texas landscape, which is defined by an intensive network of petroleum and natural gas extraction. Multiple named zones, including the Plummer Oil Field, Goree Oil Field, and Mineral Gas Field, dominate the topography with numerous wells and pipelines crisscrossing the Bee County countryside. This concentration of energy production highlights the mid-century industrial development of the region, interspersed with local landmarks like the Mineral Cem and the South Texas Childrens Home. Drainage patterns are shaped by several waterways such as Toro Creek, San Domingo Creek, and the Salt Fork, which flow through a mix of oil fields and ranch land. The map also records the boundary line shared with Live Oak County, illustrating the rural and administrative character of this part of Texas during the early 1960s.
