About this map

Carrizo Springs serves as the regional hub in this 1970s landscape, where the agricultural and industrial character of Dimmit County is clearly defined. The western edge of the map is dominated by the town's grid, featuring civic landmarks like the Jr High Sch, a Cem, and the County Airport. Significant industrial infrastructure is present, including a Refinery and the Missouri Pacific railroad line, which facilitated the movement of goods through this brush country region.

Beyond the town, the terrain is shaped by the winding course of the Nueces River and a series of unique water features like Espantosa Lake and Soldier Slough. The presence of a Drive-in Theater and the Carrizo Springs Golf Course highlights the mid-century social life of the area. To the north, the small settlements of Winter Haven and Winter underscore the localized growth of these South Texas communities before major modern developments altered the rural layout.
