About this map

Lake Corpus Christi defines the eastern edge of this coastal bend landscape, where the waters meet the distinctive rise of Millers Bluff. The map captures a transition from the agricultural rangelands of Findly Ranch and K-Bar Ranch to the residential pockets appearing along the shoreline. Communities like Lake City and Sandia anchor the southeastern corner, while smaller developments such as Pernitas Point and Carmel Hills occupy the peninsulas reaching into the reservoir.

Genealogists may find interest in the isolated Wade Cem located near the southern border, or the historic reach of Casa Blanca. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of seasonal drainages, including Charquitas Cr, Penitas Cr, and Javelin Cr, which flow toward the lake. This survey documents the intersection of three Texas counties—Live Oak, San Patricio, and Jim Wells—showing how property and political lines bisect this rural ranching country.
