About this map

The Mission River and its meandering tributaries dominate this coastal prairie landscape, carving through the terrain near the town of Refugio. The area is characterized by a significant concentration of local heritage sites, including Holy Cross Cemetery, Mount Calvary Cemetery, and Oakwood Cemetery clustered near the settlement. This 2010 survey highlights the intersection of the region's ranching and natural resources, featuring the Refugio Oil Field and the Mission River Oil and Gas Field which flank the primary waterways.

Water management and local geography are visible through landmarks such as Rooke Lake, formed by the Rooke Lake Dam, and smaller bodies like Butte Lake and Duck Lake. The landscape is crisscrossed by established routes such as Jackson Rd and Kelley Rd, while the aviation presence at Rooke Field provides a focal point for modern local transportation. Seasonal drainages like Blanco Creek, Medio Creek, and La Rosa Creek illustrate the complex drainage patterns of this South Texas region.
