1965 Map of Los Ebanos

Evidence of shifting transportation patterns appears in the contrast between the active Missouri Pacific line and the Old Railroad Grade further south. The map documents smaller settlements like Havana and the family-named Antonio Vela Banco No 53, alongside a series of pumping stations that indicate the vital importance of irrigation for the valley. A local Cem and La Joya Lake provide further landmarks for genealogists and local historians studying the Rio Grande Valley during this era.
