About this map

The agricultural and industrial character of coastal Texas is evident in this survey of Robstown and the surrounding Nueces County landscape. The city center is a grid defined by major thoroughfares like Main Ave and Ashburn Ave, bounded by the busy Texas Mexican and Missouri Pacific railroad lines. Settlement patterns are varied, ranging from the concentrated residential blocks of San Pedro to more specialized sites like the Robstown Labor Camp and the outlier community at Five Points.

Along the northern edge, the Nueces River carves a green corridor through the flat terrain, housing the River Hills Country Club and Hazel Bazemore Park. The rural areas are defined by a dense network of energy infrastructure, with numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells scattered between the long runs of Pipeline. Local institutions including the Robstown Riverside Hospital and schools like Lotspeich Sch serve the growing population centers during this era of post-war development.
