1971 Map of Uvalde

About this map

Fort Inge (Historical Site) sits south of the main settlement at the base of Inge Mtn, marking a significant historical anchor near the Leona River. In the early 1970s, Uvalde serves as a regional hub defined by its grid layout and the presence of the Southern Pacific railroad running across the northern landscape. The map reveals a community well-served by civic and educational institutions, from the Honey Bowl Stadium to several local schools like Benson Sch and Robb Sch. The surrounding terrain is a mix of natural waterways and industrial development, including the Uvalde National Fish Hatchery and several gravel pits. Notable transportation infrastructure such as the Old Railroad Grade and the Uvalde Test Track suggest a landscape shaped by both its transit history and contemporary technical use.
