About this map

Nordheim stands at the northwestern corner of this territory where the borders of De Witt, Karnes, and Goliad counties converge. The landscape is defined by a dense network of petroleum exploration and production, illustrated by the widespread Slick Oil Field and Cabeza Creek Oil Field. The presence of Melrose (Site) suggests a former community center, now marked as a historical location amidst a terrain carved by numerous seasonal waterways. These include Manahuilla Creek, Goat Creek, and Cabeza Creek, which meander through the hills alongside an extensive system of pipelines and gravel pits. Smaller localized operations like the Barvo Oil Field and Yanta Gas Field further emphasize the mid-century industrial character of this South Texas region, where ranching and energy extraction were the primary drivers of the local economy.
