John - The legal description of the land on your lease will have a Survey or Abstract name & number. If you can provide that info we can tell you where it is.

OK, with that information at hand, you can now use the GIS Map online page from the Texas Railroad Commission's site to show you where those surveys are located.

The Public GIS Map Viewer is found at this link:

http://www.rrc.state.tx.us/data/online/gis/index.php#

1. Click on the link and the view should open in a seperate page.

2. Click on the Search By Survey/Abstract button.

3. A seperate window will open. In that window highlight "405-San Augustine" in the scroll down tab for "County".

4. Enter the Survey Number you are looking for in the "Abstract-A" field. (i.e. - enter the number "83" in that field to view the land in the "WM Clark" survey.

5. Click on the "Search" Button.

6. Now click on the "Map" button that has appeared in that window. It will then Display that survey in the GIS Viewer window.

You can use the zoom in/zoom out buttons to get a closer view or to zoom out to get perspective as to where the survey sits within the county. Also the left/right/up/down arrows will navigate N/S/E/W.


In any event, it appears that the Clark survey and the other adjacent surveys that your mineral are part of are situated about 5-6 miles Southwest of San Augustine and just to the West of Hwy 147
