1963 Map of Premont West

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The intersection of the Jim Wells, Duval, and Brooks county lines reveals a South Texas landscape defined by the mid-century energy boom and cattle ranching. The East Premont Oil Field and La Gloria Oil Field dominate the eastern half of the sheet, where extensive pipeline networks and a refinery underscore the industrial character of the 1960s. The town of Premont sits at the northern edge, supported by the Southern Pacific railroad line that runs south through La Gloria. Water sources like Los Olmos Creek and Cibolo Creek wind through the terrain, while landmarks such as the Drive-in Theater and La Gloria Sch provide glimpses into the local community life of the era. The presence of numerous pumping stations and radio towers suggests a region heavily integrated into the state's petroleum infrastructure.
