1955 Map of Southmost
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Rio Grande snakes along the international border in this mid-century survey of the southernmost tip of Texas. This riparian landscape is defined by its agricultural development and the shifting course of the river, which has left behind distinct oxbow features known locally as bancos, including La Canasta Banco No 4 and Longoreno Banco No 3. These areas, often enclosed by a prominent Levee, represent historical shifts in the border and land ownership between the United States and Mexico.
