1963 Map of Weesatche

About this map

Energy production and rural ranching intersect along the De Witt Co Goliad Co line in this southern Texas landscape. The small settlement of Weesatche serves as the local hub, featuring the St Andrews Ch and the Woodlawn Cem. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the winding Eighteenmile Creek and Manahuilla Creek, which cut through a region heavily utilized for petroleum extraction. Numerous gas fields, such as the Gottschalt Gas Field, Weesatche Gas Field, and Poehler Gas Field, are connected by a web of pipelines and access roads. For local historians, the map preserves the locations of family landmarks like Barnes Cem and the small community at Post Oak, providing a detailed record of the mid-century land use before later developments.
