About this map

The Atascosa River and the Frio River frame this 1942 tactical survey of South Texas, capturing a landscape defined by sprawling ranchlands and early petroleum activity. At the center of the sheet, the presence of an Old Oil Field and scattered Ruins near Crowther hint at the area's industrial cycles during the early 20th century. Named ranch holdings like Peeler Ranch, Deason Ranch, and Jacob Ranch dominate the terrain, connected by the S A U & G RR and U S Highway No 281. This map provides a detailed view of the borderlands between Atascosa, McMullen, and Live Oak counties just as the region's ranching economy was maturing. Local genealogists will find value in the specific placement of family-named landmarks and small settlements like Tweedleville and Campbellton, as well as numerous cattle tanks and creek crossings.
