About this map

Pettus, Tuleta, and Normanna form a linear corridor of rural settlements along the drainage basin of Medio Cr. This area of Bee County is defined by its dendritic water network, where numerous creeks like Toro Cr and San Domingo Cr carve through the landscape. The layout of Pettus shows a developed street grid including N Commerce St and Aransas St, indicating its role as a local hub.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Normanna Cem situated between the primary road network and the creek, a common pattern for early Texas burial sites. The presence of the Dougherty Reservoir and landmarks such as the Medio Creek Bridge highlight the infrastructure required to manage the semi-arid environment. The transition from the residential blocks of the towns to the open stretches of Live Oak Hollow illustrates the persistent ranching and agricultural character of this South Texas region.
