1972 Map of Del Rio SE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The international boundary along the Rio Grande dominates the southern reaches of this 1972 survey, where the river carves a winding path between the United States and Mexico. On the Texas side, the landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of Laughlin Air Force Base, showing its complex of runways, a Hospital, and a Golf Course during the early 1970s. This era of cold war operations is juxtaposed against the older transportation corridors of the Southern Pacific railroad and early streets like E Adobe St in the southeastern edge of Del Rio. Significant topographical features such as Eagle Pass Hill and the drainage patterns of Sacatosa Creek and Zorro Creek illustrate the arid, dissected terrain of Val Verde County. From the industrial Gravel Pits to the quiet grounds of Oaklawn Memorial Park, the map captures a specific moment of military expansion and regional development near the border.
