2013 Map of Tulsita

About this map

Medio Cr and Blanco Cr carve a network of drainage across this South Texas landscape, defining the rural character of Karnes County. The small community of Tulsita serves as a central point, situated along a transportation corridor near the Dry Medio Cr. Local history is preserved in the location of the Dahl Cem and Pettus Cem, which offer significant points of interest for genealogical researchers looking into the early settlement of the region. The map reveals an economy influenced by energy extraction, clearly showing the extent of the Burnell Oil Field and the Pettus North Oil Field. Small rural settlements like Burnell and Green are connected by a web of ranch roads and farm-to-market routes, while the Porter Ranch Airport highlights the logistical needs of the expansive ranching operations typical of this part of the state.
