Hello, I hope someone can help me because I am well below novice level! I found a mineral deed with this description for Presidio County:
Section 46, Block 1, Certificate 1/657, T & P Railway
It was in my grandparent’s name. I don’t know if this has been drilled on, or is still sitting there. How can I find out? Is there a site? One that is easy to use for the layperson? Thanks in advance! Lisa

Hello Lisa. This is the link that I used to find the area in question. [https://gis.rrc.texas.gov/gisviewer/](https://gis.rrc.texas.gov/gisviewer/)
I checked and I see no activity or production for miles around. Looks as though the territory may be fairly rugged (mountainous, hilly).

Wow, thanks! So is this a good thing, or bad thing regarding future drilling? I guess hills are difficult to drill on.

Lisa the nearest thing that I find was back in 1979-1983 Gold Fields Mining Corp did numerous core tests about 20 miles SE searching for gold in the mountains/hills and that was in Blocks 6, 7, 8 and 23.

Thank you for this information. It is interesting to see what has gone on in these areas that we cannot really go look at! I really don’t even know if this deed I have is valid anymore. It is from 1927. Probably doesn’t make much difference. My grandparents bought in a few counties back in the 1920s, and some are actually producing a little! But I guess there isn’t gold in that area of Presidio County!
Can you tell me how to use that site? I want to look up something in Reeves, Texas but I don’t know how to format the description. I tried, but it didn’t really work. I typed in: Section 285, Block 13, H & G Railway Company and it said “location not found.”

Lisa, right now I have to go help my cousin. She wants me to till an area for her garden. Later I will be glad to try and help you find the area in question. Don’t give up on me. Later 😊

Thank you! So all I see is a blank area. No wells I guess. This is a good resource and easy to use now that I have instructions! Thank you again.
