1979 Map of Rincon Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Aransas River defines the landscape of this Gulf Coast survey, winding through a complex network of wetlands and tidal areas including Mud Flats and the sharp oxbow of Rincon Bend. The region is a productive intersection of coastal agriculture and heavy industry, dominated by the sprawling Plymouth Oil and Gas Field and the Taft Oil and Gas Field. A series of pipelines and access roads cut across the terrain, servicing numerous wells and drill holes. Evidence of local agricultural operations remains visible at the Cotton Gin and a variety of family or place-named water features like Paloma Tank and Chico Tank. The presence of the Taft Drainage Ditch suggests the historical efforts required to manage the low-lying coastal prairie for industrial and farming use during the late 1970s.
