1965 Map of Peggy

About this map

Esseville and Peggy anchor this rural Texas landscape during the mid-1960s, a region defined by its creek drainages and intermittent waterways. The topography is shaped by the Lipan Hills in the northwest, where the Lipan Hills Aqueduct and Hacienda de la Tordilla are located. This era of the South Texas brush country shows a heavy reliance on local infrastructure, with multiple gravel pits and a network of pipelines crossing the terrain near Salt Branch and West Weedy Creek. Genealogical interest is found at the Pleasant Hill Cemetery and an additional unnamed Cem located near the center of the survey. The presence of numerous benchmarks and wells suggests an active period of resource management and land surveying along the Atascosa Co Live Oak Co line, providing a clear view of the ranching and industrial footprint before later 20th-century developments.
