2012 Map of Oakville

About this map

The Nueces River winds through the southwestern corner of this landscape, creating a distinct riparian corridor characterized by Sand Hollow and Long Lake. This area of Live Oak County is defined by its energy production history, with the Oakville Gas Field, Karon Gas Field, and Harris Oil Field dotting the brush country. The small settlement of Oakville serves as a focal point near the river, where local streets like Talley St and Martin St meet the primary corridor of IH 37 Acces. To the north, the Ray Point Cem offers a point of interest for genealogists, while the terrain is further segmented by numerous named drainages such as Sulphur Cr, Graveyard Hollow, and Vatoss Gully. The map illustrates a rural Texas economy transitioning from traditional ranching toward intensive petroleum and gas extraction.
