1974 Map of Snake Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Cibolo Creek and its southern tributaries wind through the Brush Country landscape of South Texas, defining a region where four county lines—Zavala, Frio, Dimmit, and La Salle—converge. In the mid-1970s, the local economy appears rooted in petroleum extraction and livestock management, anchored by the expansive Big Wells Oil Field and scattered infrastructure such as Storage Bins and a Drill Hole. The small settlement of Baggett sits near the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as a rare residential node in a territory dominated by intermittent waterways like Snake Creek and Espio Creek. The terrain is characterized by broad drainage basins and the notable depression of Big Hollow, with an Indefinite Boundary marking the shifts in jurisdictional lines across the mesquite-covered plains. For researchers, the map provides a clear record of fence lines, improved light-duty roads, and the industrial footprint of the Texas oil patch during this era.
