1956 Map of Laredo East

About this map

Large cattle pastures and family-named ranches define the landscape of eastern Laredo during the mid-20th century. The territory is partitioned into expansive holdings such as Matthews Pasture, A.B. Matthews Pasture, and Augustine Salinas Pasture, illustrating the significant livestock economy of Webb County. Movement across this arid brushland relies on the corridor of the Texas Mexican Railway, which connects small rail-side locations like Milo Siding and Pescadito Station.
