1968 Map of Oso Creek NW

About this map

Corpus Christi undergoes significant southward expansion in this mid-century survey, with residential growth pushing toward the meandering banks of Oso Creek. The landscape transition is evident where established city grids meet the larger tracts of the Military Reservation Boundary surrounding Cabaniss Field. Specialized infrastructure anchors the periphery, including the NASA Tracking Station to the southeast and the Corpus Christi Minor Seminary located near the urban edge. To the west, the terrain remains dominated by resource extraction and agriculture, marked by numerous Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and the Rancho Viejo Windmill. Notable community landmarks such as Driscoll Childrens Hospital and Wilson Hospital serve the growing population, while the U S Government Railroad provides a direct industrial link through the northern portion of the quadrangle.
