1974 Map of Piedra Creek NE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The arid brush country of South Texas is defined by its water management and resource extraction in this mid-1970s survey. Along the boundary between La Salle and McMullen Counties, the landscape is dominated by ranching operations and petroleum infrastructure. Cameron Ranch stands as the primary named settlement, served by a nearby Landing Strip and Radio Tower. The intermittent drainage of Quintania Creek and Green Branch is supplemented by several man-made stock tanks, including Piedra Tank, Coma Tank, and Wiley Tank, which are essential for livestock in this environment. Evidence of industrial activity is clear throughout the quadrangle, with numerous Oil Wells, a Gravel Pit, and a network of pipelines that cut across the terrain towards the Nueces drainage to the southeast. This document preserves the exact placement of these wells and ranch features before decades of subsequent energy development altered the surface.
