2019 Map of Tulsita

About this map

Tulsita and the surrounding South Texas countryside are defined by a complex network of intermittent streams and farm-to-market roads along the triple border of Karnes, Bee, and Goliad counties. The settlement of Tulsita serves as a local hub near the southern edge of the map, while Burnell and Green sit further north along the primary highway corridor. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems including Medio Cr, Blanco Cr, and Hondo Cr, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like FM 743. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the location of the Pettus Cem and Dahl Cem, which anchor the history of these farming communities. The map captures a late-decade view of a ranching and agricultural region where traditional county lines—such as the Karnes Co Bee Co boundary—intersect with a modernizing infrastructure of rural roads.
