1951 Map of Oso Creek NW

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Cabaniss Field and Rodd Field dominate the coastal prairie landscape south of Corpus Christi during this early 1950s survey. This period shows the rapid outward expansion of the city's suburban footprint, with residential grids pushing toward Gardendale along Gollihar Road and Lexington Blvd. The map captures a moment when rural agriculture and naval aviation infrastructure existed side-by-side, evidenced by the numerous oil wells and schools like Kostoryz Sch and London Sch scattered between the city boundary and the winding course of Oso Creek. Genealogists and local historians can trace the transition from ranching to residential development, noting landmarks such as the Rancho Viejo Windmill and the Outlying Field No 20 (Abandoned) located near the southern edge of the survey.
