2013 Map of San Patricio

About this map

The James McGloin Homestead stands as a prominent historical landmark in this 2013 survey of the Texas coastal bend, situated near the winding course of the Nueces River. This region preserves its Irish colonial heritage through the layout of San Patricio and features like the Old San Patricio Cem, reflecting the early 19th-century settlement of the area. The map illustrates a rural landscape transitioning between historical ranching grounds and modern utility, with the site of Fort Lipantitlan marking a significant point of military history near Sandy Hollow. Smaller communities such as Bluntzer, Knolle, and Escondidas are dispersed across a terrain defined by numerous seasonal creeks like Quinta Cr and Javelin Cr, alongside local watering points like Round Lake Springs and Dismero Springs.
