1936 Map of Southmost

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Large agricultural tracts and river bends define this southernmost tip of Texas along the Rio Grande border. Several named plantations, including Piper Plantation, Rabb Plantation, and Brulay Plantation, line the fertile river bottoms, illustrating the land-use patterns of Cameron County in the 1930s. The landscape is marked by unique river features like La Canasta Banco No. 34 and Longoreno Banco No. 32, which reflect the shifting nature of the international boundary between the United States and Mexico.
