About this map

The community of Melrose and its surrounding network of energy production define this portion of Goliad County. The landscape is heavily marked by industrial activity, with several significant petroleum and natural gas extraction areas such as the Nordheim Gas Field in the northwest and the Slick Oil Field to the east. These operations are connected by an intricate web of rural routes and farm-to-market roads, including FM-1726 and FM-884.

Drainage across the region is shaped by numerous seasonal waterways, most notably Cabeza Creek and Manahuilla Creek, which wind through the territory alongside Goat Creek. The presence of several family-named roads like Gus O Mueller Road, Fuhrken Road, and Bethke Road offers a clear view of the longstanding land ownership patterns and local heritage that persist alongside the active Boyce Oil Field and Cabeza Creek Oil Field.
