1956 Map of Laredo
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Laredo serves as the focal point of this South Texas landscape, marking a vital international crossroads along the Mexico United States border. The 1970s revision captures a region defined by extensive ranchlands and a sophisticated transportation network, where the Texas Mexican RR and Missouri Pacific RR cut through the brush country to connect inland hubs like Hebbronville and Alice. The map reveals the early footprint of regional energy and water infrastructure, from the expansive Falcon Reservoir on the Rio Grande to the cluster of oil-field settlements including Oilton, Bruni, and Mirando City.
