About this map

The Aransas River winds through the coastal plains of San Patricio County, defining the northern landscape of this 2010 survey. The river's path is marked by dramatic meanders such as Rincon Bend and Tule Bend, creating a riparian environment punctuated by scattered water bodies like Big Lake and Tule Lake. This area reflects a long-standing reliance on groundwater and resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of family-named or locality-based water features including the Ohiva Windmill, Mare Trap Windmill, and Coyote Windmill.

Industrial activity is concentrated in the southern and western portions of the quadrangle. The Plymouth Gas and Oil Field and the Taft Oil and Gas Field indicate the significance of the energy sector to the local economy. A dense network of county roads, including Co RD 77 and Co RD 100, provides access to these oil fields and the surrounding ranchland, while Chiltipin Creek drains the southern territory toward the coast.
