1978 Map of Woodsboro

About this map

The town of Woodsboro serves as the focal point of this coastal prairie landscape, where the agricultural grid is heavily overlaid by the infrastructure of the Texas energy sector. The 1970s marked a period of mature production for the Roche Oil and Gas Field and the La Rosa Oil Field, which are evidenced by numerous wells and pipelines cutting across the terrain. This industrial presence contrasts with the traditional community landmarks like St Bernard Cem and the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor. The Southern boundary is defined by the winding course of the Aransas River, featuring prominent bends like Huisache Bend and La Bolsa Bend. To the east, the Mission River and McGuill Lake highlight the riparian lowlands of Refugio County, while the small settlement of Bonnie View anchors the southeastern fields.
