About this map

The Nueces River winds across this South Texas landscape where the borders of La Salle, McMullen, Webb, and Duval counties meet. In the mid-1970s, the region was defined by a dense network of energy infrastructure, most notably the Rodriguez Oil Field in the northwest and numerous Gas Wells scattered throughout the brush country. These industrial sites are linked by an intricate system of pipelines and unimproved roads that cut through the drainage basins of Piedra Creek and Charamusca Creek. Local history is anchored by the Adami Cem and a solitary Landing Strip, illustrating the combination of family heritage and the logistical needs of remote ranching and petroleum operations. The presence of a Flowing Well and several cattle tanks reflects the critical importance of water management in this arid environment.
