1969 Map of Petronila NE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Petronila and the surrounding coastal plains of Nueces County appear here as a landscape defined by the mid-century energy boom. The terrain is crisscrossed by petroleum infrastructure, with extensive production areas including the North Luby Oil Field, Baldwin Oil Field, and the Shield Oil Field marking the transition from traditional ranching to industrial extraction. To the northeast, the outskirts of the regional hub are visible, anchored by West Oso High Sch and the Memory Gardens Cem near the banks of West Oso Creek. The intricate network of pipelines and local routes like South Violet Road and Carl Allen Road illustrate how the discovery of the Gas and Oil Field reshaped the local economy and settlement patterns during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
