1956 Map of Willamar SW

About this map

Agricultural development and water management define the landscape in this 1950s survey of the borderlands between Willacy and Cameron Counties. The North Floodway and Pilot Channel dominate the central terrain, cutting across the map to redirect water through a series of engineered paths. Near the southern edge, the settlement of Combes sits at the junction of the Missouri Pacific railroad and localized infrastructure, including Elliott Airport and the Dishman Sch.
