1956 Map of Pleasanton
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Atascosa River carves through this South Texas landscape, anchoring a mid-century agricultural and ranching economy. Settlement centers on Pleasanton and North Pleasanton, while the surrounding countryside is partitioned into family-named holdings such as Boatright Farm, Wymans Ranch, and the Martin Ranch. The transit network of the 1930s and 40s is defined by the San Antonio Uvalde and Gulf (I-GN) RR and the early alignment of U S Highway 281. Rural life is evidenced by a network of local institutions like the Temple church and Black Hill School, alongside industry markers such as the Humble Pipeline Co and scattered oil derricks. Unusual features such as the Artesian Well and Lakeside Dairy highlight the area's reliance on groundwater and local production.
