2016 Map of Alice North

About this map

The South Texas city of Alice serves as the focal point for this survey of the South Texas plains, where the convergence of several major drainages defines the local geography. The landscape is marked by a complex network of seasonal creeks and waterways, including the winding Palo Hueco Cr and Chiltipin Cr, which feeds into Lake Alice north of the city center. This area reflects a long history of ranching and transportation, with the modern corridors of 281 and 359 crossing over ancient streambeds like the Resaca de Enmedio and Muerto Cr. For genealogists, the map identifies local burial grounds such as Rose Lawn Cem to the east and Collins Cem to the south. The layout of the street grid in Alice and the surrounding county road system reveals the structured growth of Jim Wells County around these vital water sources, including the San Diego Cr and San Fernando Cr.
