1936 Map of Laguna Atascosa

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Meandering ancient waterways and established cattle spreads dominate this coastal South Texas landscape. The intricate oxbow curves of Resaca De Los Fresnos and Resaca De Los Cuates illustrate the region's complex hydrology, winding through a terrain dotted with prominent family ranches such as El Alazan Ranch, San Pedro Ranch, and the San Jose Ranch. The shoreline is defined by the expanse of Laguna Atascosa and the marshy inlet of Cayo Atascoso, while the interior shows the transition toward organized land development with Share No 27 Road and Share No 31 Road. Industrial infrastructure is represented by the Missouri Pacific Railroad cutting through the southwest near the settlement of Lacoma, providing a vital link for the agricultural and ranching economies of Cameron County.
