About this map

The Atascosa River flows through a landscape defined by ranching, rail transport, and early petroleum extraction in the late 1960s. Pleasanton serves as the primary hub, showing significant municipal development including a Hosp, Jr High Sch, and various Sub Stations to support the growing community. The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the territory, passing smaller named settlements such as Coughran and Georgetown.

Evidence of the local oil industry is prominent in the south, specifically within the Imogene Oil Field, where numerous Oil Wells and a Pumping Sta are marked among the brush country. Genealogy researchers will find value in the specific placement of rural cemeteries, including Saint Andrews Cem, Sotelo Cem, and San Ysidro Cem, which offer clues to family homesteads located away from the main town center near water sources like Galvan Creek and Presleano Creek.
