1936 Map of Southmost

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Agricultural development and international boundaries define this 1930s landscape along the winding Rio Grande southeast of Brownsville. Large landholdings like the Rabb Plantation, Brulay Plantation, and Piper Plantation occupy the fertile river bends, while smaller rural nodes like Southmost and South Point appear near the terminus of the Missouri Pacific railroad. The geography is characterized by several distinctive river-bend land formations, including Los Borregos Banco No 73 and Longoreno Banco No 3, which underscore the shifting nature of the United States-Mexico border in this period.
