1972 Map of Rincon

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

North Rincon Oil and Gas Field and the Cameron Oil and Gas Field dominate this Starr County landscape, where the extraction industry shaped the mid-century economy. The settlement of Rincon serves as the focal point, situated near a Gas Plant and a network of pipelines that crisscross the terrain. Evidence of ranching and early infrastructure appears in the scattered distribution of the Pablito Windmill and Plant Windmill, alongside several gravel pits and a central Refinery. Local history is anchored by the presence of a Cem near the northern boundary, while La Joya Creek provides a natural break in the industrial footprint. The map captures a highly specialized industrial environment, showing how the Hinde Oil Field and Rincon Oil Field defined the land use and road patterns of the 1970s.
