About this map

The town of Poteet serves as the focal point of this South Texas survey, situated at the confluence of several vital watercourses including Rutledge Hollow, Agua Negra Creek, and the Atascosa River. The landscape is characterized by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Madre Dolorosa Cem and Estrada Cem, which provide significant genealogical touchpoints for the region.

Evidence of shifting transportation and infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and a local Landing Strip, while the surrounding terrain near Ditto is marked by numerous wells and agricultural divisions. Water drainage patterns are clearly defined by Alto Palo Creek and Galvan Creek, showing how the hydrology of the Atascosa basin influenced the placement of early settlements and rural infrastructure in the late 1960s.
