1963 Map of Runge

About this map

Runge serves as the primary hub on this mid-century survey, situated at the junction of the Southern Pacific railroad and a network of rural routes. The town’s layout includes a localized Athletic Field and a nearby Sewage Disposal facility, reflecting the infrastructure of a settled agricultural center. The surrounding landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with Ojo de Agua Creek and Ecleto Creek cutting through the terrain. To the north and east, several family-named waterways like McTennel Creek and Butler Creek suggest the early ranching and farming history of the area near the border of De Witt County and Karnes County. Notable landmarks for genealogists include the Nordheim Cemetery and several isolated Gravel Pits and Gas Wells, pointing to the region's extraction activities alongside its established rural settlements.
