1969 Map of Edroy

About this map

The Nueces River winds through the heart of this landscape, defining the boundary between San Patricio and Nueces counties and creating distinct landforms like Griffin Island and Odem Island. In the late 1960s, the region's economy was anchored by the Riverside Oil Field and Odem Oil Field, where numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells dot the terrain. The settlement of Edroy serves as a local hub, featuring the Guadalupe Ch, Edroy Cem, and a stop along the Missouri Pacific railroad. To the southeast, the Corpus Christi Filtration Plant near Calallen Dam highlights the vital role of the river in supporting regional infrastructure. Traces of older transport routes are evident in a north-south line marked Abandoned, contrasting with the active rail and road networks that converge at Edroy.
