About this map

The coastal plains of Nueces County are defined by a network of energy production and agricultural roads in this early 21st-century survey. Notable for its dense concentration of petroleum infrastructure, the landscape is dotted with the Baldwin Oil Field, Ramada Oil Field, and the North Luby Oil Field. This industrial activity is integrated into a rural grid where Tierra Grande serves as a residential pocket amidst the expansive fields.

Water management is prominent along the drainage of West Oso Creek, which is interrupted by the Belvy Lake Dam in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation is anchored by several Farm-to-Market roads and local thoroughfares like Oso Gin Rd, reflecting the area's history of cotton production and ginning. Further south, the Dean Airport and Memory Gardens Cemetery provide local landmarks that help orient researchers to the layout of this specific Texas landscape near the gulf.
