About this map

The Atascosa River and its many tributaries, including San Miguel Creek and Lagunillas Creek, define this South Texas landscape during a period of significant water management and energy production. In the south, the Choke Canyon Reservoir appears under construction, a massive project reshaping the junction of the Atascosa Co, McMullen Co, and Live Oak Co borders. The region's economy is clearly anchored by the extensive Oil Field zones and scattered Gravel Pits and Quarry sites that dot the brush country.

Concentrated development is visible in the north around Pleasanton and the county seat at Jourdanton, while smaller, more isolated rural hubs like Charlotte, Christine, and Campbellton serve the surrounding ranching and oil lands. Long-standing family and community identities are preserved through labels for smaller settlements such as Fashing, Peggy, and Coy City, alongside natural landmarks like Tordilla Hill and Ray Point. The map captures a transition point where traditional land use meets modern infrastructure.
