2012 Map of Citrus City

About this map

Citrus City and the neighboring settlement of Doffing anchor this 2012 survey of the South Texas landscape in Hidalgo County. The region is defined by its rectilinear road grid, including the sequential 10 Mile Line and 9 Mile Line, which organize the agricultural and residential plots of the Rio Grande Valley. These named lines, alongside major thoroughfares like Tom Gill Rd and Abram Rd, reveal a pattern of late 20th and early 21st-century development, where traditional cattle operations like El Veleno Ranch and Santa Rita Ranch exist alongside modern residential streets. In the southern reaches of the map, the Tabasco Oil and Gas Field indicates the industrial footprint of the energy sector, while the waters of La Joya Lake and the solitary La Morita Windmill provide a connection to the area's essential water resources and older ranching heritage.
