1972 Map of Del Rio NE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Laughlin Air Force Base dominates the southeastern corner of this landscape, marking the military presence near the border in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by the deep incisions of San Felipe Creek and San Pedro Creek, which channel toward the newly established Amistad Reservoir at the northwestern edge. A prominent Old Railroad Grade snakes through the central hills, tracing a bypassed transportation corridor that once linked the regional ranchlands. Near the southern boundary, the small settlement of Johnstone sits adjacent to the airfield, while scattered Gravel Pit sites indicate local extractive activity. The map captures a moment when traditional land use, represented by the winding Sycamore Creek, met the modern infrastructure of the reservoir and the expanding air force installations.
