About this map

The settlement of Moore serves as the focal point of this South Texas landscape, situated along the diagonal path of the Missouri Pacific railroad. The town's layout and its proximity to the Moore Cem provide a clear view of mid-century community development in Frio County. The surrounding terrain is defined by a network of waterways including Hondo Creek, Tehuacana Creek, and Buck Creek, which carve through the brush country and guide the placement of rural infrastructure.

Industrial activity is evident across the quadrangle, with numerous Gravel Pits, Oil Wells, and a Gas Well indicating the extraction-based economy of the 1960s. The northern portion of the map is marked by the Medina Co Frio Co line and an Indefinite Boundary, highlighting the importance of jurisdictional markers in this rural expanse. Genealogists will find the Tehuacana Cem in the northwest particularly notable for tracing family history outside the primary town site.
