About this map

San Diego serves as the focal point of this South Texas landscape, situated at the boundary of Duval Co and Jim Wells Co. During the early 1960s, the town's social and educational infrastructure is clearly visible, featuring the Parr Sch, High Sch, and local Cem. The surrounding terrain is defined by a network of ephemeral watercourses and early water management structures, including Muerto Creek, Resaca de Enmedio, and the sequential Chiltipin-San Fernando Dam No 8 and Chiltipin-San Fernando Dam No 9.

Industrial activity is prominent across the quadrangle, notably the San Diego Oil Field and various Quarries. Transportation and commerce are anchored by the Texas Mexican railroad line, which skirts the southern edge of the settlement alongside San Diego Creek. This map captures a specific era of resource extraction and civil engineering in the brush country, where pipelines and drill holes crisscross the ranch lands.
