About this map

The agricultural and energy-producing landscape of San Patricio County comes into focus on this 1970s survey. The small settlement of West Sinton and the nearby community of West St Paul anchor a region defined by an extensive grid of section lines and drainage systems. Natural waterways like Aquilla Creek and Chiltipin Creek wind through the coastal plain, while Dale Hollow cuts through the northern portion of the quadrangle.

Industry and transport are woven into the rural fabric, evidenced by the diagonal route of the Missouri Pacific railroad in the southwest corner and numerous Oil Wells scattered across the fields. The landscape is further networked by a series of pipelines, reflecting the region's significant role in Texas energy production. Smaller locales such as Eric appear as quiet points along the road network, offering a precise look at the rural infrastructure of the late 1970s.
