1958 Map of Del Rio
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Del Rio serves as the focal point for this borderland survey, which documents a complex landscape of international boundaries and massive infrastructure projects. The Amistad Reservoir dominates the center of the sheet, where the Pecos River and Devils River converge to meet the Rio Grande. This period shows the military footprint of the region through Laughlin AFB and the historic Ft Clark, while the Southern Pacific railroad provides the primary transit artery across the western brush country. From the isolated outpost of Pumpville in the west to the rugged slopes of the Anacacho Mountains in the east, the map reveals a network of remote ranchlands and small rail settlements like Spofford and Shumla that define the Texas-Mexico frontier.
