About this map

The Salt Flat Oil Field and Luling Oil Field define the industrial landscape of central Texas in the mid-1980s, marking a region where petroleum extraction and agriculture coexist. This survey captures a network of major transportation corridors, including Interstate 10 and Interstate 35, which link established hubs like San Marcos, Lockhart, and Seguin. The terrain is characterized by the winding paths of the Guadalupe River and San Marcos River, alongside leisure and conservation spaces such as Palmetto State Park and Lockhart State Park.

Railroad operations remain prominent with the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific lines moving goods through settlements like Luling and Gonzales. Smaller communities and historic sites, such as Old Flatonia and St James church, provide a granular view of the rural fabric. Local landmarks like Koeglar Hill and the Randolph AFB Auxiliary Airfield serve as notable points of reference across the Caldwell and Guadalupe county lines.
