1963 Map of Premont East

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Premont anchors this early 1960s landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding South Texas rangeland and energy infrastructure. The map illustrates a region defined by extensive fossil fuel extraction, dominated by the Tijerina Canales Blucher Oil Field, Falfurrias Oil Field, and the Seeligson Oil Field. These industrial zones are interspersed with established ranching tracts such as Alazan Pasture and Laguna Larga Pasture, showing the dual use of the land during this period. Transport is facilitated by the Southern Pacific railroad corridor, which skirts the western edge of the quadrangle. Local landmarks like Big Lake and several Cem markers provide points of interest for genealogists and local historians, while the small settlement of Palobla sits near the southern boundary, where Los Olmos Creek and Paisano Creek drain the brush country.
