1958 Map of Eagle Pass

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the defining border for this South Texas landscape, where the international passage between Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras anchors the region's movement. In the late 1950s, the terrain shows a sophisticated network of water management, evidenced by the Maverick Canal and Numerous small dams scattered across the arid brushland. This infrastructure supported a ranching economy where family-named holdings like Pickens-Coitfield Ranch and Farias Ranch established the local footprint alongside the industrial presence of Oil wells and the Chittim Lease.
