1965 Map of Orvil

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The settlement of Orvil and the surrounding brushlands of Webb County are defined here by a massive industrial testing facility, the Tire Proving Ground, featuring a prominent circular track and an Observation Tower. This landscape in South Texas illustrates the transition from traditional ranching to specialized industry during the mid-20th century. The Missouri Pacific railroad serves as the primary transportation artery, cutting a straight line through the terrain alongside several Gravel Pits and a small Roadside Park.
