About this map

The Orange Grove Naval Auxiliary Airfield dominates the southern landscape of this Texas coastal plain region during the early 1960s. This military installation, with its expansive runways and support structures, sits at the confluence of several seasonal watercourses including Tecolote Creek and El Caro Creek. The surrounding terrain reflects a mix of agricultural and industrial utility, characterized by numerous Quarries and an extensive network of pipelines crossing the brushy draws of Agua Dulce Creek. Local history and genealogy are centered around the Dilworth Cem and small rural nodes like Harris and McGill. The drainage patterns here, featuring names like Chiltipin Creek and Ruces Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology of Jim Wells County before widespread modern suburbanization altered the natural flow of these intermittent streams.
