1969 Map of San Caja Hill

About this map

Nueces River meanders across this McMullen County landscape, accompanied by the distinct oxbows and abandoned channels of the Old River. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as San Caja Hill in the southeast and Drakes Point to the west, overlooking a network of drainages including Dragoon Creek and Hill Creek. Evidence of mid-century industrial activity is prominent, specifically within the Ezzell Oil Field, where a Drill Hole and a network of pipelines mark the extraction efforts of the era.
