About this map

Tynan and Argenta anchor this San Patricio County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the drainage systems of the Texas Coastal Plain. The map reveals a transition from traditional rural settlements to modern residential developments, notably the three distinct sectors of Lakeshore Gardens, Lakeshore Gardens Number 1 Colonia, and Lakeshore Gardens Number 2 Colonia. These colonia developments represent a significant pattern of land use and housing in South Texas during this era.

Hydrological features like Olmos Creek and Papalote Creek meander across the plains, while the small settlement of Olmos and the Waldheim Cemetery serve as local landmarks for genealogists. The transportation network is dominated by a web of Farm to Market roads such as FM 796 and FM 888, alongside the proximity of I-37, illustrating the area's connectivity between rural homesteads and larger regional corridors.
