1965 Map of Whitsett

About this map

Campbellton serves as the northern anchor of this landscape, situated where the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the brush country of South Texas. The area is defined by the convergence of several major drainages, including the Atascosa River and its tributaries like La Parita Creek and Metate Creek. These waterways carve through the prominent Lipan Hills, creating a terrain of draws and hollows such as Merriman Hollow. The map reveals a rural economy centered on large ranching operations like the 74 Ranch and Tom Ranch, alongside active extractive industry as evidenced by several Gravel Pits scattered near the rail line. To the south, the settlement of Whitsett marks the boundary between Atascosa, McMullen, and Live Oak counties, illustrating how early transportation corridors dictated the placement of these remote outposts.
