About this map

Citrus City and its surrounding colonias anchor this 2010 survey of Hidalgo County, showing the unique residential and agricultural landscape of the Rio Grande Valley. The map documents a dense network of named residential developments, including Puerta Blanca Colonia, Daniel Ozuna Colonia, and Basham Number 16 Colonia, reflecting the region's rapid 21st-century growth. These settlements are interspersed with long-standing ranching landmarks such as Santa Rita Ranch and El Veleno Ranch, alongside the industrial presence of the Tabasco Oil and Gas Field in the south.

The layout is defined by a rigid grid of "Mile Line" roads and avenues like Iowa Ave and Texan Rd. In the northwest corner, the La Morita Windmill stands as a marker of the area's rural water infrastructure, while the waters of La Joya Lake border the southwestern edge. This map provides an essential record of local genealogy and land use, capturing the specific names and boundaries of the dozens of colonias that define this borderland community.
