About this map

The town of Oilton and the nearby Mirando City anchor this landscape in Webb County, defined by the industrial legacy of the South Texas oil fields. Traces of the region's energy economy are prominent, with the Killam Oil Field to the north and the Mirando City Oil Field to the west. This area, historically part of the Bordas Escarpment region, shows a network of rural routes such as Ranch Road 649 and family-named roads including J C Perez Rd and Welhousen Rd.

Drainage features like the Arroyo de los Angeles and Ryo Cr cut through the arid terrain, while the Van Es Ranch Airport serves as a remote aviation landmark. Near the southern edge of the survey, the settlement of Los Ojuelos marks a site of early habitation in the brush country. The map provides a clear view of the sparse but critical infrastructure required to support both ranching and petroleum extraction in this corner of the state.
