1969 Map of Edroy

About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor anchors the small settlement of Edroy during the late 1960s, where local life centered around the Guadalupe Ch and the nearby Edroy Cem. This coastal bend landscape is defined by the winding course of the Nueces River, which creates distinctive landforms like Griffin Island and Odem Island as it forms the boundary between San Patricio and Nueces counties. The industrial character of the era is evident in the extensive Riverside Oil Field and Odem Oil Field, alongside numerous Gravel Pits concentrated near the riverbanks. Beyond the energy infrastructure, the map details utility and public works developments such as the Corpus Christi Filtration Plant and the riverside Nueces River Park, illustrating how the region managed both its natural resources and its growing suburban utility needs.
