About this map

Medio Creek and Sulphur Creek carve through this rural landscape in Karnes County, defining a region where cattle ranching and energy extraction exist side by side. Small, scattered settlements like Zunkerville, Monteola, and Bainville are linked by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of the Texas brush country.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Pullin-Livingston Cemetery near the community of Caesar in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of the Caesar Oil Field highlights the industrial layer of the land, where mineral wealth sits beneath a terrain primarily used for grazing. The map meticulously traces the seasonal drainages of Dry Medio Creek and Toro Creek, which are critical features for understanding the local topography and historical land use patterns.
