1930 Map of Laguna Atascosa

USGS Topo · Published 1930

About this map

Ranching operations and tidal wetlands dominate this 1930 coastal landscape, where the flat terrain of Cameron County meets the waters of Laguna Atascosa. The map documents a transition from traditional landholdings to more formal infrastructure, evidenced by a network of straight-line thoroughfares like Line Road, East Road, and Shade Road. Large family-named holdings such as El Alazan Ranch, San Pedro Ranch, and Palo Blanco Ranch are interspersed with numerous small seasonal ponds and wetlands, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of the Rio Grande delta before modern agricultural intensification.
