About this map

The Somerset Oil Field anchors the economy and landscape of this corner of Bexar County, where traditional ranching and rural industry intersect. The town of Somerset and the nearby settlement of Bexar serve as the primary hubs for the surrounding road network, which is defined by routes like Fm-2790 and Briggs Rd. This map captures a landscape shaped by petroleum extraction and long-standing local families, with names like Luckey Rd and S McConnell Rd marking the property lines and farm-to-market connections of the region.

Water and history flow through the southern portion of the sheet via the Atascosa River. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of the Panteon San Lorenzo Cem and the Bexar Cem provides essential spatial context for tracing early residents. The land use here remains distinctly rural, characterized by a mix of wooded riverbanks and the organized grid of oil extraction operations north of the river.
