1969 Map of Pertle Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Hughey Lake and the branching drainage systems of McMullen County define this landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s. The map reveals a land utilized for ranching and resource extraction, characterized by numerous small tanks and isolated landmarks like a Landing Strip and a Flowing Well. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Pertle Creek joined by its North Prong and West Prong, while other named watercourses like Bill Walker Creek and Live Oak Creek carve through the brush country terrain. These features, along with a Drill Hole and several fence lines, illustrate the infrastructure of rural South Texas during an era of continued land development. Local historians and genealogists can trace property boundaries and water rights through features like Prairie Creek Tank and Maguey Creek, reflecting the essential relationship between water and survival in this arid region.
