2019 Map of Tuleta

About this map

Pettus, Tuleta, and Normanna form a linear settlement pattern along the modern highway corridor in Bee County, reflecting a landscape defined by ranching and oil production. The terrain is characterized by numerous seasonal drainages, including the branching networks of Medio Cr, Toro Cr, and San Domingo Cr. These waterways converge toward the Dougherty Reservoir, highlighting the critical importance of water management in this part of South Texas. Local history is anchored by sites like the Normanna Cem and the Medio Creek Bridge, while the rural road network, featuring names like W King Ln and Chestnut Rd, provides a detailed look at property divisions across the landscape. The northeastern corner is marked by the distinct topographic feature of Live Oak Hollow, contrasting with the more uniform cattle country found elsewhere on the quadrangle.
