About this map

Pettus and Tuleta anchor the northern reaches of this coastal plain landscape, where the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Medio Cr and San Domingo Cr. The settlement pattern follows a distinct linear corridor along the central transit route, connecting the local centers of commerce to the smaller community of Normanna in the south. This area of Bee County reveals a rural landscape deeply tied to its water sources and topography, from the drainage at Live Oak Hollow to the impoundment at Dougherty Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the community's roots through several well-documented burial grounds, including Tuleta Cem, San Domingo Cem, and Del Bosque Cem. The map provides a precise look at the local road network, showing how historic paths like Main St and Co RD 104 intersect with the primary thoroughfares to service the scattered homesteads and ranches that characterize this South Texas region.
