About this map

Robstown serves as a major agricultural and transportation hub in Nueces County during the late 1960s, defined by the crossing of the Missouri Pacific and Texas Mexican railroads. The town's infrastructure supports a complex social and industrial landscape, featuring the Robstown Labor Camp, the Robstown Riverside Hospital, and the Robstown Community Hall. Residential expansion is evident in the western neighborhood of San Pedro, while several local schools like St Anthony Sch and Martin Sch anchor the community's blocks.

Beyond the central grid, the map illustrates the region's reliance on energy production with numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells dotting the coastal prairie. To the north, the Nueces River meanders near Calallen, where Hazel Bazemore Park and the River Hills Country Club provide recreational spaces. The presence of the County Airport and multiple broadcasting sites, including Radio Tower (KZTV), highlights the area's role as a regional center for communication and transit.
