About this map

Alton and its surrounding agricultural landscape in Hidalgo County were defined by a rigorous grid of citrus groves and oil and gas extraction during the early 1960s. The landscape is punctuated by the Oblate Gas Field and the Mission Gas Field, alongside the Sharyland Gas Field, reflecting the era's intensive energy production. A highly organized network of orchards, indicated by dense green patterns, is interlaced with local thoroughfares such as Stewart Road and Taylor Road.
