1960 Map of Corpus Christi

About this map

The coastal landscapes of South Texas are depicted here as they appeared in the mid-1950s, captured by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Army Map Service. The map highlights the sparse settlement patterns and the expansive rural geography surrounding the Nueces County area. One of the few specifically named small settlements shown is Casa Blanca, providing a rare reference point for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of early ranching and farming communities in this region. The document is an essential record of the coastal terrain and hinterlands before significant later development, offering a clear view of the natural landscape and early infrastructure of the Texas coast.
