About this map

Nordheim sits at the northern edge of this South Texas landscape, where the agricultural plains transition into an intensive energy-producing corridor. This mid-century survey documents the dense concentration of petroleum activity across the border of De Witt, Goliad, and Karnes counties. The map identifies numerous production zones including the Slick Oil Field, Boceta Oil Field, and the Cabeza Creek Oil Field, revealing how the extraction industry reshaped the local economy and land use. Numerous gas wells, oil wells, and pipelines crisscross the drainage basins of Manahuilla Creek and Cabeza Creek. While Nordheim remains a primary settlement, the map also preserves the location of Melrose (Site), providing a valuable point of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing the evolution of regional communities and rural crossroads.
