About this map

The town of Moore serves as the central hub of this South Texas landscape, situated along the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor. The settlement is anchored by local heritage sites such as Moore Cem and Tomlin Cem, while the surrounding terrain is defined by the winding paths of Hondo Creek and Tehuacana Creek. Fenced ranch lands, including the Gracey Ranch, characterize the rural layout, with topographic landmarks like Ghost Hill rising above the plains.

Resource extraction and local infrastructure are visible through several Gravel Pits and scattered Oil Wells, reflecting the region's mid-century economic activities. Notable for its water management detail, the map identifies specific elevations for controlled inundation areas near Buck Creek, such as Spillway Elev 696. This survey captures a transitional period of development, showing the established rail network alongside a growing highway system including Highway 35.
