About this map

Corpus Christi's southern expansion and military aviation footprint are captured here during a decade of rapid coastal growth. The airfield at Cabaniss Field dominates the central landscape, bordered by the Military Reservation Boundary and the U S Government Railroad. To the south, the winding course of Oso Creek cuts through a landscape increasingly marked by industrial utility, from numerous Gas Wells to the specialized NASA Tracking Station near the shoreline.

Urbanization is evident in the dense network of schools like Moody High Sch and Kostoryz Sch, along with institutional landmarks such as the Corpus Christi Minor Seminary and Driscoll Childrens Hospital. Purple photorevision tints highlight the encroaching residential developments of Gardendale and Schanen Estates as they push toward the rural reaches of Chapman Ranch Road and the lonely Rancho Viejo Windmill.
