About this map

The city of Pearsall serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s study, showing a concentrated grid of residential and civic development including the Westside Sch, Jr High Sch, and the local Hospital. The town's economy and physical layout are defined by the Missouri Pacific railroad line which cuts diagonally through the landscape, alongside industry-focused sites like the Gravel Pits and various municipal services.

North of the city center, the terrain opens into the West Bigfoot Gas Field, a landscape marked by a network of pipelines and storage facilities. Prominent natural landmarks like Abbey Hill and Jones Mound rise above the drainage systems of Sand Hollow and Mustang Hollow. This documentation captures the transition between the urbanized center of Frio County and the productive oil and gas lands that extend toward the northeast.
