1969 Map of Rockaway Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Frio River and its network of ephemeral tributaries define this South Texas landscape in the late 1960s. Surveyed by the Geological Survey and the Texas Water Development Board, the map captures a region primarily shaped by ranching and early petroleum development. In the western portion, the small outpost of Muerto Camp sits near the banks of Muerto Creek, while several Gas Wells and an Oil Well scattered across the quadrangle suggest the emerging industrial footprint of the era. The terrain is a complex web of seasonal drainages, including Rockaway Creek, Galinda Creek, and Esperanza Creek, which carve through the plains toward the main river channel. Artificial water sources like Middle Mule Tank emphasize the importance of water management in this arid environment, while the presence of a Gravel Pit and multiple pipelines reflect the infrastructure supporting McMullen County's mineral and transit needs.
