2010 Map of Taft

About this map

The town of Taft and the small community of Sodville anchor this coastal Texas landscape just north of Nueces Bay. As of 2010, the area's agricultural identity, marked by a dense grid of farm-to-market roads like Fm 1074 and Fm 1944, exists alongside a significant petroleum economy. Three major energy production zones—the White Point Oil Field, East White Point Oil Field, and Midway Oil Field—are distributed across the territory, illustrating the long-standing integration of ranching and oil extraction in San Patricio County. Near the residential core of Taft, Bellevue Cemetery stands as a local genealogical landmark, while the northern reaches of the bay provide a distinct transition from the flat coastal prairie to the marshy shoreline. The transportation network is defined by major corridors such as Coleman Rd and several secondary county roads that connect the dispersed oil operations to the regional trade centers.
