1974 Map of Piedra Creek SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Nueces River winds through the northern portion of this South Texas landscape, defining a terrain characterized by its intermittent drainage systems and ranching infrastructure. South of the river, San Casimiro Creek and Sanz Creek cut through the brush country of the La Salle Co Webb Co border. An indefinite boundary marks the transition between these two counties, where the land is largely dedicated to large-scale ranching operations like the Welder Dobie Ranch in the southeast corner. The presence of a Landing Strip and a Flowing Well underscores the specialized requirements of managing such an expansive and isolated environment in the mid-1970s. Industrial activity is indicated by several pipelines, Gravel Pits, and Oil Wells, reflecting the region's reliance on both petroleum extraction and livestock.
