About this map

Citrus City and La Joya anchor a landscape defined by industrial extraction and educational expansion along the Rio Grande valley. While topography was recorded in the 1960s, this 2002 update reveals the extensive reach of the Tabasco Oil and Gas Field and a proliferation of massive Quarry sites that dominate the terrain east of La Joya Lake. The map serves as a detailed record of local ranching heritage, preserving the locations of La Morita Ranch, El Veleno Ranch, and Santa Rita Ranch amidst the shifting industrial footprint.

A notable cluster of educational institutions, including Lincoln-Juarez High Sch and Jimmy Carter High Sch, indicates significant mid-century and modern growth in the southern sector. Beyond the settled areas, a complex network of pipelines and water infrastructure, such as the Hidalgo Water Dist No 16 and numerous Pumping Stations, underscores the intensive land management required for both agriculture and energy production in Hidalgo County.
