1974 Map of Valley Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Nueces River winds through this Dimmit County landscape, defining a region where cattle ranching and petroleum extraction coexist. The map captures the mid-1970s development of the Good Luck Oil Field, evidenced by a dense network of unimproved roads leading to numerous Oil Wells and a Drill Hole. Settlement is concentrated at Valley Wells in the northeast, while the Diamond H Ranch stands as a significant landmark in the southern interior, complete with private Landing Strips. The hydrological character of the brush country is visible in the seasonal flow of Appurceon Creek and San Roque Creek, as well as the presence of Buckhorn Lake near the riverbanks.
