About this map

The confluence of the Frio River, Atascosa River, and Nueces River anchors this 1925 survey of Live Oak County, Texas. This landscape is defined by its water-dependent settlements, most notably the growing town of Three Rivers, situated just north of the river junction. The survey reveals a pastoral economy still heavily reliant on localized social centers, evidenced by the presence of the Marbach School and Gussettville School.

Transit in this era was shaped by the Gulf and San Antonio railroad line, which connects the county seat at George West to smaller stops like Kittie and Mikeska. Along the eastern edge, the old settlement of Oakville sits near Sulphur Creek, while family-named landmarks such as Sinclair Lake, Cabaniss Creek, and Charley York Hollow provide specific geographic markers for genealogists tracing early residents across the terrain of Big Flat.
