2013 Map of Crystal City

About this map

The Crystal City street grid dominates this south Texas landscape, centered on a dense network of local roads and state highways. Established along the Nueces River valley, the city's development is closely tied to its agricultural and industrial surroundings, including the Elaine Oil Field to the southeast. Water management is a defining characteristic of the area, as seen in the complex system of natural and human-altered waterways like Alligator Slough, Espantosa Slough, and the Boynton Reservoir. To the south of the main settlement, the smaller community of River Spur is situated near the riverbanks. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Edgewood Cem and Juarez Cem, while the Crystal City Municipal Airport serves as a modern transportation link for this Zavala County hub.
