1968 Map of Poteet

About this map

Poteet serves as the primary hub of this South Texas landscape, situated along the Atascosa River and organized around the remnants of transport history like the Old Railroad Grade. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, including Madre Dolorosa Cem, San Pedro Cem, and Zavala Cem, reflecting a deep-rooted genealogical record of local settlement. Outside the main town, the terrain is defined by drainage systems like Rutledge Hollow and Palo Alto Creek. The presence of a Landing Strip and numerous pipelines indicates an economy evolving with modern utility and aviation needs, while the community of Ditto remains a distinct named point of interest in the northwestern corner of the sheet.
