1978 Map of Refugio SW

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Blanconia Oil Field and the adjacent South Blanconia Oil Field dominate this 1970s orthophotomap, illustrating the heavy energy infrastructure that defines the rural landscape at the border of Bee and Refugio counties. Photogrammetric methods from 1972 aerial photography reveal a complex network of pipelines and extraction sites interspersed with agricultural plots and natural drainages. Waterways such as Medio Creek and Neddy Creek meander through the terrain, while the inclusion of a Flowing Well and a small Cem near the northern boundary provides localized points of interest for genealogists and researchers. The hybrid map format preserves the visual texture of the fields and scrubland, showing how industrial development carved paths across the Texas coastal plain during this era of domestic oil production.
