1936 Map of Laguna Atascosa

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The coastal brushland and marsh of Cameron County are dominated by the expansive Laguna Atascosa and the winding, serpentine oxbows of the Resaca de los Fresnos. This landscape, surveyed in the early 1930s, reveals a network of established family-named cattle holdings such as El Alazan Ranch, San Pedro Ranch, and La Tina Ranch, which define the region's rural economy. The presence of these ranches alongside the Cross Lake Bed suggests a terrain that was intensely managed around the seasonal availability of water.
