1969 Map of Annaville

About this map

The Nueces River and Nueces Bay define the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where mid-century industrial expansion meets established South Texas settlements. The corridor between Calallen and Annaville shows a transition from agricultural land to suburban and industrial development, anchored by the Lon C Hill Powerplant and the Stonewall Mall Shopping Center. To the east, the heavy industry of the Viola Channel and its refinery facilities sit adjacent to the wetlands of Tule Lake, illustrating the post-war growth of the region's shipping and petrochemical sectors.
