Title:  Spiderweb of RR development in the RGV 1930
Description:  Mo-Pac map from 1930; SP had just arrived in 1929 and MoP was rightfully worried about the loss of its monopoly. This map is inside of the Hidalgo Pumphouse. It is a museum that has many interesting artifacts from the halycon days of industrial and agricultural development.
