1969 Map of Mule Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Mule Creek and its many tributaries carve through this South Texas landscape in the late 1960s, defined by a ranching infrastructure of scattered stock tanks and remote industrial outposts. The southern reach of the map is dominated by the Nueces River and the winding Elm Slough, while a portion of a Military Reservation Boundary cuts across the lower sections. The presence of Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit indicates the area's mid-century extractive economy. One of the more distinct landmarks is the Noria Caliente Flowing Well (Hot), a notable water source in this semi-arid terrain. Named water features like Big Mule Tank, Llano Grande Tank, and Medio de Llano Tank reveal how the land was managed for livestock during this era, with an Observation Tower providing a high-ground vantage point overlooking the drainage basins of Caballo Creek and Guadalupe Creek.
