About this map

The Rio Grande marks the international boundary between the United States and Mexico in this mid-century survey of the South Texas brush country. The urban center of Laredo is anchored by the Laredo Air Force Base, while the surrounding landscape is defined by an extensive network of petroleum extraction. Numerous symbols for Oil Fields and an underground pipeline illustrate the industrial character of Webb County and Duval County during this era of intensive energy development.
